The 24th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme will be released on Friday, October 30, 2026. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will transfer the funds from Banaskantha in Gujarat to the bank accounts of more than 9.34 crore farmers across the country. In Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, approximately 3.64 lakh farmers are expected to receive the instalment.
Under the scheme, eligible farmers will receive Rs 2,000 in their bank accounts. However, payments may be withheld for farmers whose e-KYC or other mandatory verification procedures remain incomplete.
The number of farmers expected to benefit from the PM Kisan scheme in Ambedkar Nagar has increased compared with the previous instalment.
According to Agriculture Department data, 3,50,715 farmers in the district received the previous instalment, released on June 20, 2026.
This time, the number of expected beneficiaries stands at approximately 3.64 lakh. This represents an increase of around 14,000 farmers compared with the previous instalment.
A total of 4,22,721 farmers are registered on the Agriculture Department's portal in the district. However, registration does not automatically guarantee payment of the instalment. According to departmental information, e-KYC remains incomplete for some farmers, while the farmer registry and other verification procedures are pending for others.
The Agriculture Department has advised eligible farmers to update and correct their information in time to avoid disruptions in the payment of the scheme's benefits.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will release the 24th instalment of the PM Kisan scheme at an event in Banaskantha district of Gujarat.
According to the central government, more than Rs 18,690 crore is scheduled to be transferred through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the bank accounts of more than 9.34 crore farmers across the country.
The Prime Minister will visit projects related to the animal husbandry and agriculture sectors in Banaskantha in the morning. Following the visits, he will release the PM Kisan instalment at a programme and address farmers.
Arrangements have been made for the live telecast of the programme at the Agriculture Building and block auditoriums in Ambedkar Nagar. According to Deputy Director of Agriculture Dr Ashwini Kumar Singh, farmers will also be provided information about the Khet Bachao Abhiyan during the programme.
Under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, eligible farmer families receive annual financial assistance of Rs 6,000 in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 each.
Farmers must complete certain mandatory formalities to receive financial assistance under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme. These include e-KYC, verification of land records and submission of correct bank account details.
Farmers may face payment-related difficulties if their Aadhaar is not linked to their bank accounts, there are issues with DBT payments or their e-KYC remains pending.
The government has made e-KYC mandatory under the scheme. Farmers can complete OTP-based e-KYC through the official PM Kisan portal using their Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers. Biometric verification is also available at authorised Common Service Centres.
Farmers can check the status of their instalment by visiting the official PM Kisan website.
On the homepage, they need to go to the Farmers Corner section and select the Know Your Status option. After entering their registration number and the required details, farmers can check their payment status.
Those who do not remember their registration number can use the Know Your Registration Number facility available on the portal.
The status section provides information about e-KYC, eligibility and payment details. If any discrepancy appears in the records, farmers can contact the concerned Agriculture Department office or an authorised service centre to have it corrected.
Farmers who are eligible under the scheme but do not receive the payment despite completing all mandatory formalities can register a complaint.
The PM Kisan portal provides an online grievance facility. Farmers can visit the PM Kisan grievance portal, enter their registration number and report their payment-related issues. They can also use the facility to track the status of their complaints.
According to the departmental contact details provided, farmers can call the helpline number 011-23381092 to report their problems. They can also send an email to [email protected]. However, the current availability of these contact details could not be independently confirmed. Therefore, using the official online grievance portal is a more reliable option.
Farmers should also note that payment information may take some time to be updated in their bank accounts after the instalment is released. They should check their bank accounts and payment status on the PM Kisan portal before filing a complaint.
