Soon farmers can swipe their kisan cards at ATMs or any farm utility service points and get access to their accounts.
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development is planning to convert kisan cards into a smart card. It is an IT-enabled card that turns kisan cards into normal debit cards. Farmers can withdraw whatever amount they want till they reach their credit limit.
There are about 10 crore kisan cards in the country, according to Mr P. Mohanaiah, Chief General Manager (Andhra Pradesh), said here on Tuesday.
Tenant farmers too would be given these cards to help them get quicker access to credit.
