In case of crop loan, about 91.35 per cent of Specialist Officers (Agriculture) from Public sector banks were satisfied with the disbursement of credit based on scale of finance as against 78.42 per cent in case of Private sector banks. About 70.27 per cent of Specialist Officers (Agriculture) from Public sector banks faced lot of hardships to recover agricultural loans. 84.96 per cent of Specialist Officer (Agriculture) employed from Public sector banks perceived that farmers never responded to bank notice and phone calls in case of Special Mentioned Accounts (SMA) and Non Performing Assets (NPA).
