Is the horticulture subsidy in Bihar a capital subsidy or an interest subsidy?
Most NABARD-linked horticulture subsidies in Bihar are capital (back-end) subsidies — the government deposits a fixed amount (25–50% of project cost) directly into your loan account after the investment is verified. This reduces the outstanding principal. Some schemes additionally offer interest subvention (reducing the effective interest rate), but the primary benefit is the capital subsidy component.
