Analysis

At the release of the 19th PM-KISAN instalment in Bhagalpur on 24 February 2025, the Prime Minister said about Rs 3.5 lakh crore had been transferred to farmers in six years.

PIB and news reports at the time put cumulative PM-KISAN transfers near that figure; a later PIB release reported more than Rs 4.47 lakh crore through 23 instalments.

PM-KISAN transfers Rs 6,000 a year in three instalments of Rs 2,000 to eligible landholding farmer families.
