Farmers’ bat-bat! Loan up to ₹2 lakh waived off, check your name in the new list immediately:

The biggest good news of the year 2026 has come for the food providers of the country. Under the new initiative of the Central Government, the official list of ‘Farmer Loan Waiver Scheme 2026’ has been released. This is no less than a boon for crores of farmers trapped in the quagmire of debt amid rising farming costs, unseasonal rains and market uncertainties. The government has taken a historic decision to waive off agricultural loans up to Rs 2 lakh to completely free small and marginal farmers from the financial burden. The main objective of this scheme is to make the farmers stand on their feet again and encourage them to do farming without any mental stress. If you had also taken a loan for farming, now you can check from home through the online portal whether your name is included in this list or not.

Which farmers’ loans up to ₹ 2 lakh will be waived? Know eligibility

The benefit of Loan Waiver Scheme 2026 is being given mainly to those farmers who are financially weak. The scope of this scheme will cover those small and marginal farmers who had taken crop loans from cooperative banks, regional rural banks or government financial institutions. The most important condition for eligibility is that it is mandatory for the farmer to be registered with the Agriculture Department. Also, only those farmers whose total outstanding loan is up to Rs 2 lakh will get the benefit of this complete loan waiver. The government has clarified that relief will be given only to those farmers whose Aadhaar card, bank account and land records (Khatauni) are completely updated and verified. This will ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach only genuine and needy farmers.

How to check your name in the new list of loan waiver? (Step-by-Step)

For the convenience of farmers, the government has digitalized the entire process. Now you do not need to visit offices. You can see the complete list by visiting the official ‘Kisan Karj Mafi Portal’ and selecting your state, district, tehsil and gram panchayat. To search the name you have to enter your registration number or Aadhaar number. If your name is found in the list, then understand that the process of getting your loan waived off has started. If due to some technical reason your name is not in the list, you can immediately contact your bank branch or district agriculture office. The government has also issued special helpline numbers for this, so that no farmer faces any problem in gathering information.

What will be the major benefits to farmers from loan waiver?

The biggest advantage of this scheme is that the heavy burden of debt will be removed from the heads of the farmers, due to which they will be able to invest again in the new crop. When the farmer will be debt free, he will be able to use better seeds, fertilizers and modern agricultural equipment, which will directly increase agricultural production. This step will not only strengthen the rural economy but will also prove helpful in preventing incidents like mental stress and suicide among farmers. Along with this, the settlement of non-performing loans (NPA) of banks will also improve the banking system and it will become easier for farmers to take new loans in future.

Keep these important documents ready to avail the benefits of the scheme

If you want to get your loan waived off under this scheme, it is mandatory for you to have some important documents. These include your Aadhar card, residence certificate, voter ID, documents related to land ownership, photocopy of bank passbook and loan approval letter. In many states, farmer ID or registration number is also asked. The information given in all these documents should be the same at the time of application or verification. If there is any difference between your Aadhaar and bank account name, get it corrected in time, so that there is no hindrance in your loan waiver process.
