Maharashtra Farmers to Receive Funds Starting Today Under Loan Waiver
October 24, 2017
Maharashtra cooperation minister Subhash Deshmukh said that although the Diwali holidays led to a small delay, the farmers will receive their loan waiver amounts in their accounts starting today.
According to a senior official of the department, the government has asked the banks to settle the loan dues of the farmers from the deposited amounts. They have also been asked to issue the loan-clear certificates to the farmers.
If the government sticks to its claims it made during the farm loan waiver announcement during June earlier this year, as many as 89 lakh farmers will benefit.
