 +<WRAP info>
 +**Short version.** **Kisan Credit Card (KCC)** — issued by **PSBs / RRBs / DCCBs / SCBs / Cooperatives** — must be processed within **14 days** per **RBI's Master Circular on KCC** (latest 2024) and **NABARD KCC Guidelines**. If your KCC application is stuck for weeks, a one-page RTI to the **PIO of your bank** + parallel **NABARD PIO** with **₹10 fee** legally forces a written reply within **30 days** under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.

 +
 +===== A real story =====
 +
 +Babu, a Karnataka farmer, applied for KCC at his nearest **DCCB branch** in October. Asked for ₹1.5 lakh against 1.2 acre groundnut. //"Pending verification"// for 4 months. Sowing season approaching.
 +
 +He filed RTI to **DCCB PIO + NABARD Karnataka**. **20 days later** the DCCB replied: his **revenue patta** had a discrepancy — corrected via Patwari. KCC issued **8 days later** in time for sowing.
 +
 +KCC is governed by:
 +  * **RBI Master Circular on KCC** (latest 2024) — 14-day disposal.
 +  * **NABARD KCC Guidelines**.
 +  * **Modified KCC Scheme 2012** + extension to dairy/fisheries 2018.

 +
 +===== Step-by-step =====
 +- Find branch + parallel NABARD office.
 +- File via state RTI portal OR Speed Post.
 +- ₹10 (BPL waiver if applicable).
 +- 30-day deadline.
 +- First Appeal → controlling office; Second Appeal → CIC (PSB/NABARD) / SIC (cooperative).
 +
 +===== Common scenarios =====
 +- Land verification delayed → RoR / mutation parallel RTI.
 +- Crop pattern dispute → ask scale of finance computation.
 +- Old KCC closure dispute → written closure procedure.
 +- Interest subvention not credited → RBI escalation.
 +
 +===== Case law =====
 +- **//Anjali Bhardwaj v. UoI// (2018)** — §4(1)(b) suo motu disclosure of bank circulars.
 +- **CIC //KCC v. NABARD// (2020)** — NABARD directed to disclose state-wise pendency.
 +
 +===== FAQs =====
 +==== Cooperative bank — RTI applies? ====
 +**Yes** — DCCBs and SCBs are public authorities under //Thalappalam// when state-aided.
 +==== KCC limit per acre? ====
 +Per state-notified scale of finance.
 +==== Interest subvention 2% — when credited? ====
 +On timely repayment; ask via RTI if not.
 +
 +===== Conclusion =====
 +KCC delay = missed sowing season. RTI works in 20 days.
 +
 +**File the RTI.**
 +
 +===== Sources =====
