The major relief this time is that along with the central scheme, farmers may also receive benefits under the Karpuri Thakur Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. This means that instead of ₹2,000, eligible farmers in Bihar could receive up to ₹3,000 in their accounts.

21 Installments Already Released

So far, 21 installments have been released under the PM Kisan scheme, with the 21st installment credited in November 2025. Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive ₹6,000 annually in three equal installments.

During the Bihar budget announcement, the state government added ₹3,000 annually under the Karpuri Thakur scheme. As a result, farmers in Bihar may now receive a total benefit of ₹9,000 per year.
