What is an Implement Loan?
Agricultural industry is one of the major industries in India that requires a constant cash flow to keep it running. It can be for land, seeds, storage, tractors, and implements. If we specifically talk about implements then there are a variety of implements for different farming purposes such as rotavator, thresher, plough, super seeder, baler, etc. All of these implements, depending upon their features, cost a bit expensive. Implement loans, as the name suggests, is the agricultural financing provided to aid farmers in buying the farming implements of their choice. The implement loan is paid off in installments like other loans. The loan amount and interest rate are issued on the basis of applicant’s down payment, CIBIL score, and loan duration.
