The eligible beneficiaries are Fishers, Fish Farmers (individual & groups/ partners/ sharecroppers/ tenant  farmers),  Self  Help  Groups,  Joint  Liability  Groups  and  women  groups,  etc.    In  the Union Budget 2025-26, the Government of India has enhanced the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) lending  limit  for  the  fisheries  &  allied  activities  from  ₹2  lakh  to  ₹5  lakh  to  enhance  credit accessibility  for  fishers,  farmers,  processors  and  other  fisheries'  stakeholder  under  the Modified Interest Subvention Scheme.  As such, presently there is no proposal to introduce Matsya Credit Card like Kisan Credit Cards.
