However, exact date of 11th installment has not been announced by the government yet. Therefore, beneficiaries of the scheme are advised to visit the official website of PM Kisan: pmkisan.gov.in, for further updates about the next installment.

eKYC is mandatory for PM KISAN registered farmers. However, there were speculations among people about the release of 11th installment for those who are yet to complete their eKYC.
As per the official website, deadline of eKYC for all the PM KISAN beneficiaries has been extended till 31 May 2022.
Therefore, if the 11th installment is released before the last date of eKYC, it should not be a problem. But, if the government is planning to release the installment after the deadline, then it may affect those who haven't done their eKYC.
