PM Kisan Yojana: Farmers didn't receive Rs 2,000 each on Diwali, and they kept waiting; will the 21st installment arrive on this day?

PM Kisan Yojana 21st Installment: On October 20th, Diwali, farmers were awaiting the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana. But this wait is about to get longer. The entire day has passed, but the farmers haven't received ₹2,000 each.

Diwali is celebrated for two days in the country. In some states, Diwali is being celebrated on October 20th, while in others, it's being celebrated on October 21st. Consequently, in states where Diwali is being celebrated on October 20th, banks were closed. However, in states where it will be celebrated on October 21st, banks will remain closed that day. Due to the bank closures, the chances of the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana arriving on October 21st are very slim. Now, the question is, how long will farmers have to wait? Let's find out in this article.

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan released the 21st installment for farmers in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand on September 26, 2025. This prompt distribution was made in light of floods and landslides in these states. Later, on October 7, 2025, the 21st installment was also released for farmers in Jammu and Kashmir, ensuring prompt financial assistance to those affected by natural disasters. Consequently, farmers in other states hoped that the 21st installment might arrive on or before Diwali. However, this installment arrived neither on Dhanteras nor on Diwali. However, October 21st also falls on Diwali. In some places, Diwali is a holiday on October 21st.

When might the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana arrive?
The 21st installment of the Kisan Yojana did not arrive on October 20th. This has increased the wait for farmers. The question remains: when will this installment arrive? Several answers are emerging to this question. Several media reports suggest that the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana could arrive by the end of October. At the same time, some reports are saying that this installment may come before the Bihar elections.

It should be noted that the Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases. Voting for the first phase will take place on November 6th. The second phase is on November 11th, while voting will take place on November 14th. Regarding this, several media reports are saying that the 21st installment of the PM Kisan Yojana may come before the Bihar Assembly elections.

However, it was previously said that this installment would come before Diwali. But today, October 20th, is Diwali. It is evening now, but the installment has not arrived. In such a situation, it would be better to wait for an official announcement to know when the installment will come, because no government announcement has been made regarding this installment yet.
