The 22nd instalment of the PM KISAN Yojana would be released any day now. Farmers who have completed all required procedures on time will face no issues in receiving the instalment, and the money will be transferred directly to their bank accounts.
Following re-verification, e-KYC and scrutiny of land-related documents, some names have been removed from the beneficiary list. More on the exclusion criteria below.
What is PM KISAN Samman Nidhi Yojana?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is a farmers’ welfare scheme, under which eligible farmers receive financial assistance of Rs 2,000 every four months. The total disbursal amounts to Rs 6,000 per year. The amount is directly credited to their bank accounts.
The scheme was started in 2018 and 21 instalments of the scheme have been disbursed so far. The last instalment of the PMKISAN was released on November 19, 2025.

Re-verification of beneficiaries
However, ahead of the release of the 22nd instalment, the government carried out a large-scale re-verification drive, and several names have been removed from the list of beneficiaries.
Why are names being removed? The government is rechecking the beneficiary list to increase transparency in the PM KISAN scheme and to ensure that the benefits reach only those who need it.
There are two main criteria for this. The first is verification of land records. The details of farmers who registered land in their name after February 1, 2019, are being specially examined. Since land ownership is a key eligibility criterion for the scheme, any mismatch in records could result in removal from the beneficiary list.

The second criteria is the one-beneficiary-per-family rule. In a family, husband, wife and minor children are treated as one unit. Only one person per family is eligible to receive benefits under the scheme. In cases where it was found that both husband and wife were receiving instalments, payments have been stopped.
