Covid-19 has taught many lessons to humans. While in one hand, we become more aware of cleanliness, it taught farmers to become more aware of their basic rights and needs. The government along with administration has been working relentlessly to provide basic relief measures to the farmers amid the lockdown period and initiated different schemes. Different welfare schemes have been running in collaboration with both the central government and state government.
However, Kisan Credit Card is providing big relief to the needy farmers in this lockdown period where they can avail loan up to Rs 1 lakh 60 thousand without guarantee in return. At the same time, farmers can take an agriculture loan of up to Rs 5 lakh under KCC in 3 years with a minimum interest rate of 4% per annum. Moreover, the date of repayment of KCC Agri loan has extended to 31 August, giving a huge relief to 7 crore farmers.
