The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme is one of the most vital financial supports for Indian farmers. After the successful distribution of the 21st installment in November 2025, over 9 crore farmers are now eagerly waiting for the PM Kisan 22nd installment date.

​PM Kisan 22nd Installment Date: Latest Updates

While the Government of India has not yet released an official notification with a fixed date, historical trends and the 4-month cycle suggest a clear window.

  • Expected Date: Early to Mid-March 2026.
  • Tentative Timing: Many experts predict the release could happen before the Holi festival (March 2026).
  • Installment Amount: ₹2,000 per eligible farmer.

​Why is there a slight delay?

​The government is currently conducting a nationwide verification drive to remove ineligible beneficiaries. This "cleaning" of the list ensures that the funds reach only genuine, needy farmers.
