Continue zero-interest crop loans

The manifesto promised continuation of zero-interest crop loans to farmers. A Madhya Pradesh district government page states that the state decided to continue the scheme for FY 2025-26 through cooperative banks and PACS, with short-term crop loans at zero percent effective interest for farmers repaying by the due dates, supported by state interest subsidy and incentive subsidy. This directly supports continuation of the promise. The approved source found in this pass did not verify the cumulative Rs 1.4 lakh crore historical amount, but the forward-looking continuation is delivered as a standing programme. The verdict is ongoing because the loan benefit is seasonal and recurring. Budget: the source records state interest-subsidy support, but a full utilisation figure for all crop-loan subsidy expenditure was not found.
