How the KCC Limit Is Worked Out
For crop loans, banks build the Kisan Credit Card limit from the scale of finance - a per-acre cost set every year by your district's technical committee (DLTC) for each crop - multiplied by your cropped area. To that, the standard NABARD model adds about 10% for post-harvest and household needs and about 20% towards farm maintenance and crop insurance. This tool applies that model so you get a realistic first-year estimate; the bank fixes the final figure.
Good to Know
- Collateral-free up to ₹2 lakh - no land mortgage is needed for limits up to this amount (raised by the RBI in 2025).
- Effective interest about 4% - roughly 7% base, minus a 3% prompt-repayment incentive when you repay on time.
- Five-year revolving limit - reviewed and usually stepped up each year.
