Kisan Credit Card (KCC) is an initiative by the Government of India to ensure that farmers of the country have access to credit at an affordable rate.
Currently, there are 6.95 crore active KCCs, under which crops loans are given at a subsidised interest rate. The KCC has been extended to farmers involved in animal husbandry and fishery activities as well. Normally, farm loans attract an interest rate of 9 per cent
