Crores of farmers are waiting for the next ₹2,000 under PM-KISAN. Here is what is confirmed, what is only reported, how to check your status in two minutes, and what to fix if the money does not come.
Key takeaway: The 24th installment is reported for 30 October 2026 but is not officially confirmed. Finish e-KYC and check your bank's Aadhaar seeding now — those two cause most missed payments.
Quick answers: PM Kisan 24th installment
When will the PM Kisan 24th installment come?
Several reports say 30 October 2026, but as of 26 October the government has not officially announced the date. The Ministry usually confirms a few days before the release event. Watch pmkisan.gov.in.
How much money will I get?
₹2,000 per installment, paid directly to your Aadhaar-linked bank account. The scheme pays ₹6,000 a year in three installments.
How do I check my PM Kisan status?
Go to pmkisan.gov.in → Farmers Corner → Know Your Status, enter your registration number and the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
I don't know my registration number.
On the same portal, use Know Your Registration Number with your Aadhaar or mobile number and OTP.
Why didn't I get the money?
The most common reasons: e-KYC not done, Aadhaar not seeded to your bank account, land records not verified by the state, wrong bank details, or you fall in an excluded category.

- Enter your registration number and the captcha, then the OTP on your registered mobile.
- Check three lines: e-KYC status, land seeding status and Aadhaar-bank seeding. All should say Yes / Done.
Complete e-KYC (three ways)
| Method | How |
|---|---|
| OTP on portal | pmkisan.gov.in → e-KYC → Aadhaar number → OTP on Aadhaar-linked mobile |
| Biometric | At a Common Service Centre (CSC) with your Aadhaar |
| Face authentication | In the PM-KISAN mobile app |
The updated status usually shows after about 24 hours. e-KYC alone does not guarantee payment; land records and bank seeding must also be in order.
Who is not eligible

For shop owners who give credit to farmers
Many agri-input and kirana shops sell on udhar until the installment arrives. Keep each farmer's balance clear:
- Open Search in DAM and type Add Party to add the customer.
- Record each sale on credit with New Sale.
- When the farmer pays after the installment, search Receive Money and record it; check Reports → All Parties for who still owes.
Give credit to farmers without losing track
Agri-input and kirana shops: record every udhar and repayment against each customer.
