State 0% crop loans
State governments, through cooperative banks and PACSSeveral states
At least 8 states add their own subsidy on top of the central 4%, so a cooperative crop loan costs nothing if you repay on time.
What it is
These schemes add a state subsidy on top of the central 4% and work mainly through cooperative banks and PACS. Nearly all need repayment by the due date.
Tamil Nadu refunds the 7% on time up to ₹3 lakh. Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat give 0% up to ₹3 lakh. Karnataka gives 0% on short-term loans up to ₹5 lakh.
Odisha gives 0% up to ₹1 lakh and 2% from ₹1 to 3 lakh. Haryana gives 0% up to ₹1.5 lakh. Punjab has no such scheme on record.
