The Reserve Bank of India has revamped the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) framework, standardizing crop season definitions and aligning them with banking asset-classification norms. Effective January 2027, these changes aim to simplify farm loan processes and ensure timely credit for agriculture and allied activities. Collateral-free lending up to Rs 2 lakh per borrower remains, with flexibility for loans up to Rs 3 lakh under specific arrangements.
