Krishak Bandhu 2nd Installment Date: The Krishak Bandhu Scheme is one of the most essential financial support systems for farmers in West Bengal. Introduced with the objective of uplifting small and marginal farmers, this scheme ensures that cultivators receive seasonal financial assistance to continue agricultural activities without interruption.
In 2025, the government has continued the scheme just like previous years—focusing primarily on Rabi and Kharif crop seasons. Thousands of farmers in West Bengal depend on this assistance every year, and therefore checking the Krishak Bandhu Status has become an important responsibility for every beneficiary.
What is Krishak Bandhu Scheme?
Krishak Bandhu is a direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme launched by the Government of West Bengal to support farmers financially. The scheme provides:
| Benefit | Details |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed yearly financial assistance | Up to ₹4000 (paid in 2 installments) |
| Rabi Installment | November–December |
| Kharif Installment | June–July |
| Life insurance coverage | Up to ₹2,00,000 for farmer families (18–60 years) |
The scheme covers both land-owning and dependent agricultural families. The payment is processed directly into the farmer’s bank account through Digital Money Transfer (DMT).
Latest Announcement: Krishak Bandhu 2nd Installment 2025 Payment Date

This means lakhs of farmers will start receiving credits within this time period. However, payment may not reflect for everyone on the same date because the transfer happens district-wise and batch-wise.
