As many beneficiary farmers eagerly await the upcoming installment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, there is hope that the funds will be released sometime in November or December 2023. However, as of now, no official announcement from the Central government has confirmed this timeline. The 14th installment of the scheme was previously distributed on July 27, 2023.
Under the PM-KISAN scheme, all landholding farmer families receive an annual financial benefit of Rs 6,000, provided in three equal installments of Rs 2,000.
