Farmers can take loan for many types of agricultural needs from one place and the application process is easy. Farmers are given 2% interest discount and 3% quick repayment incentive. The government gives 2% discount on interest to farmers. As an incentive, interest is reduced by 3% for farmers who repay their loan on time. In this way, farmers get loans at 4% annual interest rate. Farmers get cover of crop insurance, accident insurance, health insurance, and asset insurance. There is a reduction in interest rate on agricultural loan if it is repaid on time.
