Farm household’s over indebtedness is an emerging issue in developing countries. Many studies concluded that multiple and informal borrowing are reasons for households over indebtedness. Governments have been taking many reactive and proactive policies to correct the situation. Farm investment support schemes are one such proactive policies popular across sub-Saharan Africa and emerging in India. In this context, this study was conducted to estimate the effect of farm investment support scheme on multiple and informal borrowing. One such scheme Rythubandhu implementing by Telangana state government in India is chosen for this study. Data collected from 72 farm households across the state. Quasi-poission model was used to find out the various factors affecting multiple borrowing and Logit regression model was fitted to determine the factors effecting informal borrowing. Results indicated that investment support may not necessarily reduce the multiple or informal borrowing of a household but creating irrigation facilities to the operating land may significantly reduce household’s over-indebtedness.
