SBI Kisan Credit Card Application Form
Kisan Credit Card Yojana is a scheme that offers short-term, revolving credit to farmers across India. It was launched in August 1998 with an aim to mitigate any financial shortcomings experienced by farmers during crop cultivation, harvesting, and maintenance of their produce.
It is a cash credit facility that is sanctioned to a farmer for farming. When crop season starts, the farmer can avail the credit up to the sanctioned limit for purchase of seeds, manures, pesticides, payment of labour, and for sowing work in the field.
