What FACTLY found
No such announcement was made by the Government of India. Under the PM-KISAN scheme, eligible farmers receive a standard payment of ₹2,000 per instalment, not ₹4,000. The most recent ₹2,000 payout (the 23rd instalment) was released on 20 June 2026, and the government has not yet announced a 24th instalment.
