What it pays
Repay your crop loan on time and the state pays 4% a year of the interest on up to ₹3 lakh.
What the document says, word for word
The ₹3 lakh limit is for the year in all: if you also have up to ₹2 lakh for animal husbandry or fisheries, only the remaining crop loan up to ₹3 lakh in all counts (condition (અ)(10)). The state relief is separate from the Centre’s 3% prompt-repayment incentive; the GR names banks running the Centre’s or NABARD’s 7%-or-less scheme, so the two apply together.
