Prime Minister Modi to release 24th installment of PM Kisan Yojana from Banaskantha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to release the 24th installment under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana today, Friday, October 30, 2026, from Banaskantha, Gujarat. According to an Amar Ujala report, an amount of over ₹18,690 crore will be transferred directly to the bank accounts of more than 9.34 crore eligible farmers as the 24th installment of this scheme. Under this scheme, each beneficiary farmer will be provided financial assistance as an installment of ₹2,000.

Under the PM Kisan Yojana, eligible farmer families are provided with annual financial assistance of ₹6,000. This amount is transferred to the farmers' bank accounts in three equal installments of ₹2,000. The government launched this scheme in February 2019, with the primary objective of providing financial help to farmers for agricultural work and other necessary requirements. Eligible farmer families owning cultivable land can avail the benefits of this scheme.

According to the Amar Ujala report, a total amount of ₹4.47 lakh crore has been transferred to eligible farmer families in 23 installments so far under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Now, more than 9.34 crore farmers are set to benefit through the upcoming 24th installment.

According to an ABP Asmita report, it is mandatory to follow certain conditions to avail the benefits of the scheme. It is necessary for the farmer to complete their e-KYC, and the correct land information and necessary bank account processes must be completed. If there is any flaw in these processes, the farmer's installment may be withheld. Additionally, the government has excluded certain categories from the scheme.

Farmers can check whether ₹2,000 has been deposited into their accounts or not. According to ABP Asmita, farmers can check the status from the comfort of their homes by visiting the official PM Kisan website, pmkisan.gov.in. One must go to the 'Farmers Corner' section on the website's homepage and click on 'Know Your Status'. Thereafter, by entering the registration number and the captcha displayed on the screen, and confirming the identity through the requested information and OTP, the status of the installment can be checked. The appearance of 'Payment released' on the portal does not mean that the money has been deposited into the account; farmers should verify whether the amount has been credited to the account through SMS, mobile banking application, passbook update, or the bank branch.

If the payment status is not visible or the installment has been stuck, farmers should first check their e-KYC and land-related information. For assistance, farmers can contact the helpline number 155261 or 011-24300606. Additionally, information can also be obtained through the 'Kisan e-Mitra' chatbot available on the PM Kisan portal.

Other important programs will also be held during Prime Minister Modi's visit to Gujarat. According to the ABP Asmita report, the Prime Minister will also inaugurate projects worth ₹4,000 crore during his visit to Gujarat. During this tour, he will participate in programs from Bhildi to Ekta Nagar.
