This means that the subsidy banks receive to offer these loans at a 7% interest rate would decrease from 1.5% to 1%. The goal of this move is to bring the subsidies in line with the recent policy rate cuts made by the Reserve Bank of India. This change could have implications for farmers who rely on these loans, as it may affect the cost of borrowing for them.
