Government to Release PM Kisan 22nd Instalment by March 2026 After Beneficiary List Update

The Indian government plans to release the 22nd installment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, a Rs 2,000 payment to eligible farmers, by March 2026. Ahead of the disbursal, officials have updated the beneficiary list by removing ineligible farmers and verifying e-KYC and Aadhaar-bank account linkages. Farmers are advised to check their status online to ensure receipt, as payments are credited directly via Direct Benefit Transfer without prior notification. The release timing shows a slight delay compared to previous years, likely due to stricter verification processes.
