Farmers waiting for the 24th installment of the PM-Kisan scheme can check their payment status on the official portal pmkisan.gov.in. The scheme provides Rs 6,000 a year in three installments of Rs 2,000 each, transferred directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

To check if the amount has been credited, farmers can use the 'Know Your Status' facility under the Farmer's Corner on the website by entering their registration number and an OTP. They can also verify their name on the beneficiary list by selecting their state, district, block, and village. Those who registered themselves or through a Common Service Centre can check their registration status using their Aadhaar number.
If the payment is still missing despite correct details, farmers can file a complaint through the PM-Kisan Grievance Portal and track its progress. The scheme, launched in 2019, has been extended until 2031.
With over 10 crore farmers enrolled, even a small delay in the DBT pipeline can affect lakhs of households that rely on this income for sowing or festival expenses. The extension until 2031 means the scheme, which costs the exchequer roughly Rs 60,000 crore annually, will be a fixture for at least another decade. For farmers, the key test is not just the portal working but whether the Aadhaar-seeded bank account is linked correctly to the PM-Kisan database. The agriculture ministry updates the beneficiary list quarterly, so any new applicant or those whose land records changed must re-verify. The next concrete date to watch is the end of the current financial quarter, by which pending installments are usually cleared.
