Officers of Line Departments including Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Rural Development will facilitate dissemination of awareness among all PM-KISAN beneficiaries and motivate them to visit the bank branches where they have PM-KISAN account for enrolment under KCC.

All charges including the processing, documentation, inspection and ledger folio charges as well as other service charges for KCC loans up to Rs 3 lakh have been waived. Bank branches have been advised to prepare list of PM-KISAN beneficiaries who do not have KCC and share the same with the Government functionaries of line departments so that they can be approached for availing the KCC benefit.
