Dear Sir,
AGRICULTURAL
LOANS SCHEME-COMPREHENSIVE CIRCULAR
In
compliance with the provisions contained in Section 8 (3)
of the SBP Act 1956, State Bank of Pakistan, have to ensure
availability of the adequate and timely banking credit to
the Agricultural Sector, besides creating awareness and uplifting
the living standard of the rural community. State Bank of
Pakistan introduced Agricultural Loans Scheme in 1972 as a
part of its regulatory/monitoring and supervisory responsibilities.
The said scheme was introduced through different instructions/circulars/amendments/rules
issued by the State Bank of Pakistan from time to time.
In
order to facilitate the availability of such circulars/instructions/rules
for the benefit of participating banks, Provincial Cooperative
Banks, Provincial Governments, Farmers Associations, other
internal and external stakeholders, Agricultural Credit Department
has consolidated all the existing instructions/circulars etc.
on Agricultural Loans Scheme in the form of one comprehensive/master
circular, which is appended as Appedix-1.
Efforts
have been made to consolidate all circulars/instructions/rules
etc. on the Agricultural Loans Scheme. However, there is a
possibility that some of the circulars/instructions may have
been missed. We shall appreciate your cooperation and suggestions,
in this regard, to keep this comprehensive circular up-to-date.
Help Desk is available at SBP Boulton Market Building, M.A.
