    Solution

    In March 2025, RBI issued the Priority Sector Lending (PSL) guidelines that states that total PSL target for domestic banks is 40% of ANBC or CEOBSE, whichever is higher.   Of this, the sub-target for agriculture is 18 % of ANBC or CEOBSE, whichever is higher. Within this target, 14% is prescribed for Non-Corporate Farmers (NCFs), out of which a target of 10% is prescribed for small and marginal farmers ( SMFs ) .
