RBI waives collateral security and margin requirements for agricultural loans including loans for allied activities upto ₹2 lakh per borrower.

Presently, the limit for collateral free on agricultural loans is ₹ 1.6 lakh.

Accordingly, banks with effect from 1st January 2025 have been advised to waive collateral security and margin requirements for agricultural loans including loans for allied activities upto ₹2 lakh per borrower.
