Quick answer: The government has not announced the date of the PM Kisan 24th installment yet. The 23rd installment was released on 20 June 2026, when more than ₹18,880 crore reached about 9.44 crore farmers. Installments usually come about four months apart, so many expect the next one around October–November 2026, but treat any exact date on social media as a rumour until the official portal confirms it. Check your status with Know Your Status on the PM Kisan portal, and make sure your e-KYC is complete.

| Period | Months |
|---|---|
| Period 1 | April – July |
| Period 2 | August – November |
