"Kist nahi aayi" is the most common PM Kisan complaint, and it has many causes: the installment may not be released yet, the State may not have approved your record, your bank may have rejected the transfer, or one of the mandatory checks may be pending. Guessing wastes weeks. The quicker way is to read the exact message on your status page on the official PM Kisan portal (pmkisan.gov.in) and act on that.
Below we first rule out timing, then explain each status message in a table, then give a fix order and the official grievance route. KisanRi Guide is an independent guide, not a government office. We cannot see or change your payment.
First rule out timing: has the kist been released?
The 23rd installment was released on 20 June 2026 at Tarakeswar, Hooghly, West Bengal: about ₹18,880 crore to about 9.44 crore farmers, according to PIB. The 24th installment belongs to the August to November 2026 period. Business Standard reported on 13 October 2026 that no official date had been announced, and we will not guess one. Until PIB or the official PM-KISAN X account announces it, "24th not received" is not a fault in your record.
Also note that the portal homepage may lag: on 16 October 2026 it still showed the 22nd installment (13 March 2026, Guwahati) as its latest news item. Our installment dates page lists every released kist.
PM Kisan status messages: meaning and what to do
These messages appear on the Know Your Status page. The portal does not publish official definitions for them. The meanings below are as reported by independent guides and by Angel One (June 2026), so treat them as a practical guide, not an official rule.
| Message on status | Reported meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting for approval by State / Pending for approval at State or District level | The State has not yet verified your record | Wait, then ask at your Block, Tehsil or district agriculture office if it stays pending |
| RFT Signed by State | Request for Transfer: the State has verified you and asked the Centre to release funds | Nothing to fix. Payment is moving |
| FTO Generated / FTO is generated and Payment confirmation is pending | A Fund Transfer Order has been created but money is not yet credited | Wait. Check your bank account after some days |
| FTO Processed | The order has been sent to PFMS for payment | Wait for the bank credit |
| Payment Success | Released by the government; the bank credit usually follows | Check the passbook or ask the bank. Make sure you are checking the DBT account |
| Payment Failed / rejected by bank or PFMS | Account closed or frozen, IFSC or name mismatch, or Aadhaar not NPCI-mapped | Fix it at your bank. The amount is then processed again |
| Aadhaar Bank Seeding Status: No | Bank account not linked to Aadhaar or not enabled for DBT | Link Aadhaar and enable DBT at the bank, or open an IPPB account |
| Land Seeding: No | Land record not verified or seeded by the State | Contact the Patwari, Tehsil or agriculture office |
| eKYC Status: No | Aadhaar eKYC not done | Do eKYC by OTP, CSC biometric or app face authentication |
| Benefit temporarily withheld | Official portal notice: suspected exclusion case awaiting physical verification | Cooperate with verification; raise a grievance if you are eligible |
For the seeding rows, step-by-step help is on our Aadhaar bank and land seeding page, and for eKYC on our eKYC page.
हिंदी में सारांश
पीएम किसान की किस्त न आए तो पहले देखें कि किस्त जारी हुई है या नहीं। 23वीं किस्त 20 जून 2026 को जारी हुई थी; 24वीं किस्त (अगस्त से नवंबर 2026) की 13 अक्टूबर 2026 तक कोई आधिकारिक तारीख घोषित नहीं हुई थी। फिर pmkisan.gov.in के "Know Your Status" पर संदेश पढ़ें। गाइडों के अनुसार "Waiting for approval by State" का मतलब राज्य ने सत्यापन नहीं किया, "FTO Generated" का मतलब भुगतान आदेश बना है पर पैसा अभी नहीं आया, और "Payment Failed" अक्सर बंद खाते, नाम या IFSC गड़बड़ी या NPCI मैपिंग न होने से होता है। लैंड सीडिंग, आधार बैंक सीडिंग और eKYC तीनों Yes होने चाहिए। शिकायत पोर्टल या CPGRAMS पर करें; हेल्पलाइन 155261 है, कॉल से पहले पोर्टल पर नंबर जांच लें। एजेंट को पैसे न दें और OTP न बताएं।
Why some payments are withheld or rejected
The portal homepage says benefits are "temporarily withheld" for suspected exclusion cases pending physical verification. Its examples are land acquired after 1 February 2019 and more than one member of a family receiving the benefit. Records are also cross-checked against Aadhaar, PFMS and Income Tax data (Lok Sabha, 4 February 2025), so a family member who paid income tax in the last assessment year, or a government pensioner with ₹10,000 or more per month, can make the family ineligible. If you think you are excluded, read our eligibility page before complaining.
The better news: Outlook Business reported in March 2025 that the Agriculture Minister told the Lok Sabha that farmers stopped for unmet mandatory criteria get their benefits along with due installments once they comply.

- If nothing changes, raise a grievance as below and note your complaint number.
Official grievance and helpline routes
A PIB backgrounder of November 2025 says grievances can be raised through the PM-KISAN portal grievance module and CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in), and are to be resolved on merit within two weeks. The Kisan-eMitra AI voice chatbot, available 24x7 in 11 languages, also answers queries. In FY 2024-25, 24,605 grievances were recorded on the portal (PIB, March 2026). Farmers without mobiles can use CSCs and state offices at Block or Tehsil level (PIB, 10 March 2026).
Numbers long listed for PM Kisan include 155261, the toll-free 1800-115-526 and 011-24300606, with email pmkisan-ict@gov.in. We could not confirm them on the portal's contact page, so check them on pmkisan.gov.in before calling. More detail is on our helpline page.
If money was paid wrongly
States recover money paid to ineligible beneficiaries. ₹416.75 crore had been recovered by 2 December 2025 (PIB backgrounders, 2026). If your family is not eligible, you can return the money as your State directs (guides describe a refund option on the portal, but its label is not officially confirmed), and you can voluntarily surrender future benefits. A surrender can later be revoked online on the official "Surrender Revocation of PM-KISAN Benefits" page.
Do not fall for payment scams
When a kist is late, fake callers claim they can "release" it for a fee, and fake links ask you to "update" your account. Nobody can speed up a PM Kisan payment for money. Use only .gov.in websites, never pay agents, never share your OTP, and enter your Aadhaar or registration number only on the official PM Kisan portal or app.
Frequently asked questions
PM Kisan payment not received but status shows Payment Success. What now?
Payment Success is reported to mean the government has released the money and the bank credit usually follows. Update your passbook or ask the bank, and make sure you are checking the account that is enabled for DBT. If nothing arrives after some time, raise a grievance through the portal and keep your complaint number.
What is the meaning of FTO Generated in PM Kisan?
FTO stands for Fund Transfer Order. Guides report that "FTO Generated" or "FTO is generated and Payment confirmation is pending" means the order to pay you has been created but the money has not yet been credited. It is not an error. Wait some days and check your bank account before taking any action.
Why is my PM Kisan pending for approval at State level?
It is reported to mean the State or District has not yet verified your registration, usually your land record. New self-registrations stay in this stage until officials check them. If it remains pending for a long time, visit your Block, Tehsil or district agriculture office with your land papers, or raise a grievance on the portal.
PM Kisan rejected or payment failed: how do I fix it?
Reported reasons for a failed or rejected payment include a closed or frozen account, an IFSC or name mismatch, or Aadhaar not mapped with NPCI. Visit your bank to correct the account and enable DBT. Once fixed, the amount is reported to be processed again, and missed installments are paid once you comply.
PM Kisan 24th kist kab aayegi?
As of 13 October 2026, Business Standard reported that no official date for the 24th installment had been announced. It falls in the August to November 2026 period. Rely only on PIB and the official PM-KISAN X account for the date, and keep your land seeding, Aadhaar bank seeding and eKYC at Yes so it is not held.
Where do I complain about a PM Kisan samman nidhi problem?
Use the grievance option on the official PM Kisan portal, CPGRAMS at pgportal.gov.in, or the Kisan-eMitra chatbot. PIB says grievances are to be resolved on merit within two weeks. You can also call 155261 after checking the number on pmkisan.gov.in. Never give your OTP to anyone who calls you back.
