Kisan Card Phase-II 2025
Punjab’s farmers have received another major relief package under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The official launch of Kisan Card Phase-II brings fresh opportunities for small and medium-scale farmers across the province. With zero processing fees, access to subsidized inputs, interest-free loans, and modern agricultural facilities, the scheme is designed to transform agriculture in Punjab.
The government has not only expanded loan disbursement but also included a wider range of support, such as the Green Tractor Scheme Phase-II, solar tube wells, free soil testing, certified seeds, and fertilizers. This initiative aims to empower farmers, reduce input costs, and boost crop productivity ahead of the wheat sowing season.
What’s New in Kisan Card Phase-II?
The second phase of the Kisan Card program introduces significant upgrades compared to Phase-I. Farmers can now access more facilities without financial or procedural barriers.
- Processing fee removed – no Rs. 1,000 charges for registration.
- Rs. 100 billion loan package – interest-free loans for more than 628,000 farmers.
- 4,200+ registered suppliers – for transparent supply of fertilizers, seeds, and agri-machinery.

This farmer-centric approach ensures that even small-scale farmers can benefit without facing unnecessary financial burdens.
