additional interest subvention to the prompt paying farmers wherein presently 3% Interest
Subvention as an incentive to prompt payee farmers is given. This subvention is available to farmers on the

subvention will be available to small and marginal farmers having Kisan Credit
Card for a further period of upto six months after the harvesting of the crop
at the same rate as available to crop loan against Negotiable Warehouse
Receipts issued for the produce stored in warehouses accredited with Warehousing
