Kisan Credit Card is a pioneering credit delivery innovation for providing adequate and timely credit to farmers under single window. It is a flexible and simplified procedure, adopting whole farm approach, including short-term, medium-term and long-term credit needs of borrowers for agriculture and allied activities and a reasonable component for consumption needs.

Credit card and pass book or credit card cum pass book provided to eligible farmers facilitate revolving cash credit facility. Any number of drawals and repayments within a limit, which is fixed on the basis of operational land holding, cropping pattern and scale of finance can be made. Each drawal has to be repaid within a maximum period of 12 months and the Card is valid for 3 to 5 years subject to annual review. Conversion/reschedulement of loans is permissible in case of damage to crops due to natural calamities. Crop loans disbursed under KCC Scheme for notified crops are covered under Rashtriya Krishi Bima Yojana (National Crop Insurance Scheme), to protect farmers against loss of crop yield caused by natural calamities, pest attacks etc.
