Overview

The Kisan Credit Card (Pashupalan) scheme is administered by the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department of the Government of Madhya Pradesh. It exists to move affordable, short-tenure working capital credit into the hands of people who earn a living from livestock, so that routine running costs do not hold back their dairy and animal husbandry work.

Borrowing under the scheme flows through the Kisan Credit Card route, with banks handling the actual disbursal. The key advantage for a farmer is the interest subsidy attached to the sanctioned loan, which pulls down the cost of the credit. Once an application is approved, the money is usually released within about 15 days.

This is credit, not a grant or an equity investment, so a recipient keeps full ownership of the enterprise and simply repays the loan. Eligible groups include livestock farmers as well as members of primary agricultural credit cooperative societies, making the scheme a practical cash-flow tool for the dairy and livestock economy of Madhya Pradesh. There is no fixed application window — applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
