PM Kisan New Eligibility Rules 2025 – Check Your Name in List Before 21st Installment
The Central Government has announced new eligibility rules under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana 2025 ahead of the release of the 21st installment. This update is crucial for all beneficiaries, as many farmer names have been flagged for re-verification.

Therefore, if you are a PM Kisan beneficiary, it is essential to check your name in the beneficiary list before the next installment is released.
