For what works get loan
Loan up to Rs 3 lakh is easily available through Kisan Credit Card. Through KCC, farmers can take loans at affordable rates for the purchase of agricultural commodities such as fertilizers, seeds, pesticides. The government has now earmarked some part of it for household expenses as well. That is, farmers can also take some loan through this for household expenses. The biggest advantage of this card is that poor farmers are getting relief from middlemen who give loans at high interest.
How can interest be 4 percent
First of all, the government gives 2 percent subsidy on the loan taken on Kisan Credit Card. On the other hand, if farmers repay their loans on time, they get a further rebate of 3 percent. It can be understood that according to the information given on the website of SBI
Loan of Rs 3 lakh is available at 7 per cent per annum interest. If the farmers return this loan on time, then they get 3 percent more rebate in it. In this way it becomes 4 percent.
