What is the PM-KISAN Scheme?
The PM-KISAN scheme is a central initiative by the Government of India. Under this program, eligible landholding farmer families receive financial assistance of ₹6,000 per year. This money is transferred directly into their bank accounts to help with agricultural and household expenses. The amount is distributed in three equal installments of ₹2,000 each.
When Will the PM Kisan 25th Installment Be Released?
To know when the PM Kisan 25th kist kab aayegi (when the payment will arrive), it is important to understand the government’s distribution schedule. The government releases funds in three specific four-month windows, known as trimesters:
- First PeriodApril to July
- Second PeriodAugust to November
- Third PeriodDecember to March
Because the 24th installment aligns with the October–November 2026 window, the next installment automatically falls into the third period (December 2026 to March 2027).
So, is the PM Kisan 25th installment coming in 2026? Based on the official trimester schedule, the answer is no. Historically, the payment for the December–March period is disbursed in February. Therefore, the exact release date is expected in February 2027, not in 2026.
