This is how fraud happens

It has been seen that the majority of ineligible people pretend to be eligible farmers just by hiding their income by the way of forging documents and convincing local-level officials.

In many states like Assam, it appeared that the names of pensioners, non-farmers, and taxpayers are included in the list.

It has also been observed that more than 1 person from each family was on the list.

To prevent this fraud, the physical verification of the beneficiaries is also mandated by the center.

This is the facility of the Kisan Credit Card, which is available to the beneficiaries of PM Kisan.

Through KCC, the government provides loans to farmers at very low interest rates.

Kisan Credit Card validity

Kisan credit card is valid for 5 years from the date it has been issued. On this KCC, farmers get a loan of up to Rs 3 lakh.

The interest on KCC loans is 9 percent, this rate is very low for farmers.

The government gives a subsidy of 2 percent on KCC and Due to this, the farmer gets a loan on it at 7 percent interest rate.

further, if the farmers pay their dues on time, they also get a rebate of up to 3% on interest. And finally, the farmers have to pay only 4 percent of the total interest on this loan.

Kisan Credit Card

The farmers who are taking benefit of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Yojana can get the benefit of the Kisan Credit Card simultaneously.

To make the process easy the govt. has linked both schemes together. E.g: PM Kisan Samman Scheme and Kisan Credit Card.
