The 13th installment of PM Kisan scheme is likely to come in January-end. However, the date has not been announced yet.

The central government intends to shortly release the 13th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana while lakhs of farmers are waiting. The Government of India introduced the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, a central sector scheme, in 2019 with the goal of supporting the country's farmers financially. Under this scheme, the government offers small and marginal farmers with up to 2 hectares of cultivable land an annual financial aid of Rs 6,000. Three equal payments of Rs 2,000 each are made for financial aid.

In this regard, there is some good news for the farmers who would benefit from the impending budget for 2023. In the budget for 2023, the central government might this time give the farmers a sizable gift.

The Rs 6,000 instalment amount is expected to be raised to Rs 8,000, and the money handed to the farmers is probably going to be split into 4 payments of Rs 2,000 each. The instalment amount is currently released every four months.
