PM Kisan Samman Nidhi: The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Nidhi Yojna is a central government scheme that provides financial aid to the landholding farmer families all across India. Under the scheme every land-owning farmer is given an income support of Rs 6000 every year. Funds are transferred directly to the beneficiary's bank accounts in three equal instalments of Rs 2000 each.
Until now, the government has released 13 instalments of the PM Kisan Yojana. Last month, the most recent payment of Rs 2,000 was directly credited to the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries. The Government has transferred 16,000 crore rupees to over 8 crore eligible farmers.
The beneficiaries receive money in three different instalments throughout the year. The first instalment is often granted between April and July, the second between August and November, and the third between December and March. The exact date for the release of the 14th instalment has not been announced yet, but it is expected to be released between April 2023 and July 2023.

As per the information provided on the official website, individuals can complete the eKYC process through an OTP-based method on the MKISAN Portal.
