Coimbatore District Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar has urged eligible farmers to repay overdue agricultural loans by November 30 to avail themselves of a waiver of up to ₹75,000 under the revised Tamil Nadu Agricultural Loan Waiver Scheme 2026.
Loans obtained between May 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026, will qualify, subject to scheme conditions.
Farmers who had repaid their outstanding loans as on June 19, 2026, and pensioners receiving a monthly pension below ₹10,000 are also eligible.
Where a farmer or multiple members of a family had obtained more than one agricultural loan, only the loan carrying the highest eligible waiver amount would be considered. The waiver has been capped at ₹75,000.
Farmers whose instalments were overdue as on November 6, or fall due between November 7 and 30, must repay their loans in full by November 30. The government would bear the applicable interest, subject to conditions.
For loans falling due after November 30, repayment must be made within the respective due dates.
The eligible waiver amount would be credited directly to the loan accounts.
