Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 9th May 2020 said that banks have provided the three-month loan moratorium to around 3 crore farmers in the country for loans totalling Rs 4.22 lakh crore.
In a tweet, Finance Minister said eligible borrowers were also given emergency credit lines and their working capital limits were increased by the public sector banks (PSBs). Sitharaman said, “Since March 2020, around 9.13 crore farmers have been given Rs 18,253 crore under PM-KISAN scheme during the #lockdown. About 3 crore farmers with agri loans totaling Rs 4,22,113 crore availed the benefit of the three-month loan moratorium”.
It must be noted that under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi yojana, every farmer gets Rs 6,000 of income support every year in 3 equal instalments directly into their bank account.
Earlier this month, the government had released the first instalment of PM Kisan scheme to help farmers during the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.
