The short version
PM-Kisan gives eligible small and marginal farmer families ₹6,000 a year, paid in three installments of ₹2,000 every four months, directly to their bank account.
Aimed at supplementing income for small and marginal farmer families, PM-Kisan provides ₹6,000 annually, split into three equal installments of ₹2,000 roughly every four months, transferred directly to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) - removing intermediaries from the disbursal process. Eligibility and enrollment is managed through state/local agricultural records, and keeping KYC and bank details updated is essential for uninterrupted installments.
(Installment amount and frequency checked as of September 2026 - unchanged since the scheme's structure was set.)
