Farmers benefiting from the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana are now awaiting the 24th installment. Lakhs of farmers across the country are eager to know when the next installment of ₹2,000 will be credited to their bank accounts. While various claims regarding the installment date are circulating on social media and other platforms, the government has not yet announced an official date for the release of the 24th installment. However, by looking at the timing of previous installments under the PM Kisan scheme, one can estimate the month for the next one. Additionally, officials have indicated the possibility of the installment arriving in October.

**24th Installment Likely in October**
Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually. This amount is disbursed in three installments, with ₹2,000 sent directly to the farmer's bank account in each installment. Typically, installments under the scheme are released at intervals of approximately four months. The previous—or 23rd—installment was released in June. Based on the four-month interval, the next (24th) installment is likely to arrive in October.

**Which Farmers Might Face Delays?**
If you are a beneficiary of the PM Kisan scheme, merely having your name registered is not enough. The government has made it mandatory to complete certain essential procedures to ensure continued payments. e-KYC is one of the most critical requirements; if a farmer has not yet completed their e-KYC, the next installment could be delayed. Land verification is also mandatory. Farmers whose land verification has not yet been completed may also face issues receiving the installment. Therefore, if you are awaiting the 24th installment, ensure you check your e-KYC status and land verification details immediately.

**How ​​to Check Installment Status**
If you wish to check the status of your next PM Kisan installment, you can easily do so online. First, visit the official PM Kisan website. Then, navigate to the 'Farmers Corner' section and click on the 'Know Your Status' option. You will now need to enter your registered mobile number and the captcha code. Following this, an OTP will be sent to your mobile number. Once you enter the OTP, details regarding the installment will be displayed. Here, you can check the status of your installment and see if there are any issues related to the payment.

What should farmers do?
For now, one must wait for the official date of the 24th installment; however, farmers can already check their necessary documents and scheme-related information. It is advisable to verify in advance whether e-KYC has been completed, land verification has been done, and bank account details are correct.
