The last date for farmers to register for the next instalment under the PM KISAN Scheme was 30 September 2021. All the farmers registered on or before September 30 will receive Rs 2,000 most probably in the month of October or November. 

So far, 12.14 crore farmer families have joined the scheme since its launch. As part of the second instalment in the ongoing financial year, Rs 2000 each has been credited to the accounts of 10.27 crore farmers across the country. 

This time, more than 12.14 crore farmer families are expected to benefit from the scheme. Farmers will receive the monetary benefit by November 30. Also Read: Retro tax settlement: Cairn, Vodafone, others to wait 5 months to get refund
