PM Kisan 22nd Installment Released on 13 March 2026

The Government of India released the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme on 13 March 2026. Under this installment:

• 9 crore 32 lakh farmers received the benefit

• A total amount of ₹18,640 crore was transferred

• The money was credited directly to farmers’ bank accounts through DBT

This installment continues the government’s commitment to support small and marginal farmers with regular financial assistance.

For many rural households, this installment helps cover seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, and other farming expenses before the next cropping season.

However, despite the large number of beneficiaries, many registered farmers have reported that the 22nd installment has not yet reached their accounts.

Why Some Farmers Have Not Received the 22nd Installment

If a farmer has not received the PM Kisan installment, there may be several reasons behind it. The government has made certain compliance requirements mandatory to ensure that benefits reach the correct beneficiaries.

1. e-KYC Not Completed

One of the most common reasons for payment delay is that the farmer has not completed the mandatory e-KYC process.

2. Aadhaar Not Linked with Bank Account

If the Aadhaar number is not linked with the bank account, the payment cannot be processed through DBT.

3. Aadhaar Not Linked with PAN

In some cases, Aadhaar and PAN linkage issues may also create verification problems.

4. Incorrect Bank Details

If the bank account number or IFSC code is incorrect, the installment may fail or remain pending.

5. Mobile Number Not Linked with Aadhaar

Since OTP verification is required for e-KYC, the mobile number must be linked with Aadhaar.

6. Land Record Verification Pending

Some farmers may face delays if land ownership records are still under verification by the state government.

7. Duplicate or Invalid Beneficiary Record

If duplicate registrations or data mismatches are detected, the payment may be temporarily withheld.

e-KYC is Mandatory for PM Kisan Scheme

To continue receiving benefits under the PM Kisan scheme, all registered farmers must complete e-KYC.

The good news is that farmers can easily complete this process from home using the official website or mobile app.

Farmers can complete e-KYC through:

• Official PM Kisan portal

• PM Kisan mobile app

• CSC centers using biometric authentication
