Quick Reply: KCC 2% interest subvention or 3% prompt-repayment incentive not credited? File an RTI under §6(1) RTI Act 2005. Free template.

Short version. KCC (Kisan Credit Card) borrowers get 2% interest subvention + 3% prompt-repayment incentive under DAFD's Interest Subvention Scheme — meaning effective interest of just 4% on crop loans up to ₹3 lakh. If your subvention/incentive is not credited despite eligibility, RTI to PIO of bank + DAFD + NABARD with ₹10 fee legally forces written reply within 30 days under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.

Real story

Mahesh, KCC holder, repaid loan on time but 3% incentive never credited. 17 days after RTI, bank replied: subvention claim was filed late; corrected and refunded.
