Zero Interest
Details
The Chief Minister's Krishi Rinn Yojana (CMKRY) is a scheme initiated by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh to support farmers in the state by providing them with zero interest crop loans. Under this scheme, the government offers an interest subvention of 4% on crop loans or Kisan Credit Card limits up to Rs. 3.00 lakhs, sanctioned by all banks during the current financial year. This interest subvention is provided over and above the subvention given by the Government of India to banks and farmers as per the policy circular issued by RBI/NABARD.
Additionally, farmers who promptly repay their short-term production credit (crop loan) within one year of disbursement or withdrawal can avail themselves of an interest relief of 3% per annum. In other words, farmers who take loans up to Rs. 3.00 lakhs and make timely repayments are eligible for the zero-interest credit facility. NABARD acts as the channel partner for reimbursement to banks regarding the interest subvention amount, as per the prescribed format outlined in a circular issued to all banks separately. The state government also issues a notification wherein a certificate of the cultivated area and crops being grown is issued by the Circle Officer, which is considered a valid document by banks for issuing Kisan Credit Cards to farmers.
