Modi to release ₹18,680 crore in PM-Kisan payments on October 30
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to release PM-Kisan payments on October 30 at an event in Bhildi, in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district.
More than 9.34 crore farmer families are set to receive over ₹18,680 crore in total, with eligible families receiving ₹2,000 each.
PM-Kisan provides eligible farmer families with ₹6,000 a year, paid in three instalments directly into their bank accounts.
Two accounts describe the payment as the scheme’s 24th instalment, while a local report from Samastipur in Bihar calls it the 20th.
The payments are part of a programme that has already distributed more than ₹4.47 lakh crore nationally through its previous 23 instalments, according to Gujarat’s agriculture minister.
The money is due to go directly to eligible families’ bank accounts; the sources do not give a later payment date or describe further steps for recipients.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to release more than Rs 18,680 crore under the PM-Kisan scheme on October 30 in Bhildi, Gujarat.
The 24th instalment is expected to reach more than 9.34 crore farmer families across India.
In Gujarat, more than 52.33 lakh farmer families are set to receive over Rs 1,051 crore.
The event will also include foundation stones for two compressed biogas plants and inaugurations of several dairy-related projects.
One Samastipur report describes the instalment as the 20th, while the other two articles identify it as the 24th.
