Additional Emergency Working Capital through NABARD

•National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) will extend additional re-finance support of ₹30,000 crore for meeting crop loan requirements of Rural Cooperative Banks (RCBs) and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs).
•This refinance will be front-loaded (uneven distribution with a greater proportion at one time and smaller ones at other time) and available immediately.
•This is over and above ₹90,000 crore that will be provided by NABARD to this sector in the normal course.
•This will benefit around 3 crore farmers, mostly small and marginal and will meet their post-harvest Rabi and current Kharif requirements.
