With Diwali on October 20 this year, it is likely the government will transfer the installment in early or mid‑October, though no official date has been confirmed yet.
Bihar Elections and Early Release Possibility
With Bihar assembly elections due soon and the Election Commission expected to announce dates by late September, the government may release the installment before the model code of conduct comes into force, increasing the chances of farmers receiving funds in the first half of October.
