More than half the agricultural households in India have outstanding debts:
52.5% of the agricultural households had an outstanding loan. Whereas 42.8% of the non-agricultural households in rural India had an outstanding loan and all rural households together stands at 47.4%.
Average amount of outstanding debt for indebted agricultural households is reportedly Rs 1,04,602 as on the date of the survey. Debt outstanding for indebted non-agricultural households is reportedly Rs 76,731. Overall extent of indebtedness taking all households combined is Rs 91,407. That means agricultural households with outstanding debt had higher debt liability compared to non-agricultural ones. And also the average outstanding debt of the agricultural households is nearly equal to the average annual income of all agricultural households in India (Rs 1.07 lakh).
Only 10.5% of agricultural households had a valid Kisan Credit Card. Those with Kisan Credit Card had used 66% of the sanctioned credit limit.
19% of the loans were taken to meet agricultural expenses. Another 19% of loans were taken for domestic needs. 11 % of loans were taken for housing and 12 % for medical expenses.
Highest indebtedness was registered by farmers owning more than 2 hectares of land. 60% of such households are indebted.
Telangana (79%), Andhra Pradesh (77%), and Karnataka (74%) had the highest levels of indebtedness among agricultural households. They were followed by Arunachal Pradesh (69%), Manipur (61%), Tamil Nadu (60%), Kerala (56%), and Odisha (54%).
