The document discusses how crop loans are determined in India. It explains that a District Level Technical Committee (DLTC) comprised of agriculture, banking, and government experts fixes the scale of finance or maximum loan amount for farmers. The DLTC considers factors like the type of crop, variety, season, land type, and district to set the indicative cost of cultivation for different crops, upon which the loan amount is based. The committee reviews costs annually and adjusts the scale of finance accordingly.
