This installment follows the 22nd release on March 13, 2026, which benefited over 93.5 million farmers with ₹18,640 crore disbursed.

Under the PM-KISAN scheme, eligible farmer families receive an annual income support of ₹6,000, paid in three equal installments. The government has provided a detailed guide on its official PM-KISAN portal for farmers to check their status. This includes verifying payment details, eligibility, Aadhaar linkage, land seeding, and e-KYC status through the "Know Your Status" feature. Farmers can also check the beneficiary list by selecting their state, district, and village.
