PM Kisan Budget Update: Presenting her ninth consecutive Union Budget on Sunday, February 1, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced an allocation of Rs 63,500 crore for the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme for the 2026-27 financial year. While the central government has kept the annual assistance amount unchanged at Rs 6,000 per year, the uninterrupted continuation of the PM Kisan scheme has played a vital role in sustaining farmers’ trust.
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) scheme was launched in 2019 to provide eligible farmers with an annual financial aid of Rs 6,000. The aid is directly transferred to their bank accounts in three equal instalments. Currently, the scheme supports over 11 crore farmers across the country, ensuring stable financial support throughout the year.

The 22nd instalment of Rs 2,000 is expected to be credited to the farmers' bank accounts in the last week of the month. Till now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has released 21 instalments under the PM-Kisan scheme.
