As lakhs of farmers across India await the 20th installment of the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, it’s essential to ensure that your registered mobile number is active and updated. The central government, under this Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme, offers financial support of ₹6,000 per year, divided into three equal installments of ₹2,000. These are directly transferred into the bank accounts of eligible farmers across India.

The 20th installment of the scheme is likely to be released in July 2025, and farmers will receive SMS alerts confirming the credit on their registered mobile numbers. However, if you’ve changed or lost access to your mobile number, it's vital to update it immediately to avoid missing out on crucial notifications.

Why Updating Your Mobile Number Matters

The mobile number linked to your PM Kisan profile plays a vital role in:

• Receiving OTPs for Aadhaar authentication

• Getting SMS confirmations of installment credits

• Accessing PM Kisan grievance redressal

• Completing e-KYC and re-verification

If your old mobile number is inactive, you won’t receive payment-related updates or be able to verify your identity through OTP-based e-KYC. This can lead to delays in payments or even removal from the beneficiary list.

PM Kisan 20th Installment Expected Release Date
