<h1>RBI Issues Guidelines for Banks to Support Farmers Affected by Natural Calamities with Loan Restructuring and Relief Measures.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India has established guidelines for banks to aid borrowers affected by natural calamities. These include converting outstanding crop and agriculture loans into term loans, rescheduling loans based on crop failure severity, offering fresh loans to affected farmers, and providing relaxed security norms. Additionally, loans can be treated as current dues without compounding interest, and a one-year moratorium is advised for restructuring. In Tamil Nadu, under the Agricultural Debt Waiver and Debt Relief Scheme, 1.51 lakh farmers received debt relief amounting to Rs. 216.07 crore through Regional Rural Banks and Cooperative Banks, as reported by a government official.
