PM-Kisan 20th Installment May Be Delayed If Your Name Doesn’t Match Aadhaar – Here’s How to Fix It
PM-Kisan 20th Installment May Be Delayed If Your Name Doesn’t Match Aadhaar – If you're a beneficiary of the PM-Kisan Scheme and are awaiting the 20th installment, there's a crucial detail you must double-check—does your name on the PM-Kisan application match exactly with your Aadhaar card? If not, your payment could be delayed or even canceled.
In this blog, we’ll explain everything you need to know—from the reason behind payment delays to the steps you can take to ensure a smooth disbursal of the upcoming installment.
What Is the PM-Kisan Scheme?
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-Kisan) Yojana is a government initiative launched to provide direct financial support to eligible farmers in India. Under this scheme:
₹6,000 is provided annually to each eligible farmer
The amount is paid in three equal installments of ₹2,000
The payments are made every four months, directly into the beneficiary’s bank account
This financial aid helps small and marginal farmers meet essential agricultural expenses.
When Will the 20th Installment Be Released?
As per current expectations, the 20th PM-Kisan installment is likely to be released in the first week of July 2025. Here’s a quick reference table for past and upcoming installments:
| Installment | Disbursal Month |
|---|---|
| 19th | February 2025 |
| 20th | July 2025 (Expected) |
The scheme follows a 4-month cycle, so if everything is in order with your application, you can expect your next installment on time.
Why Payments May Be Delayed or Withheld
One of the most common reasons for delay in payment is name mismatch between Aadhaar and PM-Kisan records. If the name on your PM-Kisan profile is even slightly different from the one on your Aadhaar card, your record may be marked invalid.
Common Types of Mismatches:
Use of nicknames or initials instead of full names
Middle names missing or extra names added
Spelling variations due to regional language transliterations
Upper/lower case mismatches (while usually not critical, they sometimes affect database matching)
