What Is the One-Time Settlement Scheme 2025?

This scheme is specially designed for farmers who have taken long-term loans from Land Development Banks and failed to repay them on time. These unpaid loans have now been categorized as overdue.

Under this scheme, farmers are required to pay only the principal loan amount and the insurance premium. The entire interest, penalty on interest, and recovery expenses will be waived off completely by the government. The main aim is to free farmers from the burden of debt and help them reclaim their mortgaged land.

Why the Scheme Duration Was Extended

Initially, the last date to apply was 30 June 2025. But due to massive farmer interest and long queues at banks, the government extended the deadline by three more months, until 30 September 2025. Rajasthan’s Minister of State announced this extension for Cooperation, Gautam Kumar Dak, who said the goal is to ensure every eligible farmer can benefit from this opportunity.

Benefits of the Scheme

• 100% interest waiver by the government

• Penalty and recovery charges also waived

• Farmers only need to pay the principal and the insurance premium

• Land gets freed from mortgage

• Farmers become eligible for fresh agricultural and investment loans

How Many Farmers Have Benefited So Far?

As of now, out of 30,007 eligible borrowers, over 7,500 farmers have already taken advantage of the scheme. A total interest waiver of ₹130 crore has been provided, helping these farmers free their mortgaged land and return to independent farming. Additionally, long-term agriculture and non-agriculture investment loans are also being distributed to farmers. For this, loan targets have been assigned to 36 primary land development banks in the state.
