Government Subsidies for Tractor Loans
The government offers several subsidy schemes for agricultural equipment:

How to Calculate Tractor EMI
The EMI formula for tractor loans is similar to regular loans but includes subsidy calculations:
EMI Formula: [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N-1]
Where:
P = Loan amount after subsidy
R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate/12)
N = Loan tenure in months

- Tractor Cost: ₹8,00,000
- Subsidy (40%): ₹3,20,000
- Net Cost: ₹4,80,000
- Down Payment (20%): ₹96,000
- Loan Amount: ₹3,84,000
- Interest Rate: 9% per annum
- Tenure: 5 years (60 months)
- Monthly EMI: ₹7,973
Special Features of Tractor Loans
