• Farmers await the 22nd installment of PM Kisan Yojana, expected between March-April 2026, after the 21st installment in November 2025.
• Under the scheme, eligible landholding farmers receive ₹2000 every four months, totaling ₹6000 annually, directly into their bank accounts.
• Over ₹3.70 lakh crore has been disbursed to more than 11 crore farmer families in 21 installments.
