Farmer-Welfare and Agriculture Development Department issues directive
Bhopal: A list will be prepared immediately after the last date February 5, 2019, of filing applications in the cases in which farmers have given pink applications of loan amount in the display lists despite not having taken any loan from cooperative societies or cooperative banks under Jai Kisan Crop Loan Waiver Scheme. The Cooperatives Department will take criminal action against those who have taken fraudulent loans in the names of the farmers after investigation. It has become possible to highlight such cases due to the display of the list of loan accounts under the scheme. The Farmer-Welfare and Agriculture Development Department has given necessary instructions to the officials in this regard.
It has been ensured in the scheme’s implementation process, pink forms are being filled by farmers in cases where the names or loan amount or other information does not tally with the green (aadhar card certified) and white (non-aadhar card certified) list prepared on the basis of master data sheet received from the bank or if their names are not found in both lists. There is a provision to check the record again on the online portal on the farmer’s pink application on the loan amount being more and waive the verified amount of loan waiver at the branch. Hence it is not right to conclude that the loan will be waived on the basis of the list displayed.
The basis of filing a complete application is to take claims and objection by making the list public. Arrangement has been made to mandatorily waive the loan amount taken by eligible farmers as per rule under the Jai Kisan Crop Loan Waiver Scheme.
It may be mentioned that Minister for Cooperatives Dr. Govind Singh has issued directives to take strict action against people guilty of irregularities in loan cases sanctioned in the state earlier. He has instructed the officers and officials-employees of the Department of Cooperatives to continue to remain vigilant and active in implementing the Jai Kisan Crop Loan Waiver Scheme.-Window To News
