Loan waiver: draft names of ryots to be published soon

October 25, 2014 01:23 am | Updated May 23, 2016 04:11 pm IST - HYDERABAD:

Andhra Pradesh government would publish the draft names of individual farmers to be covered under the debt relief scheme on November 9 or 10.

This was decided at a review meeting held by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu here on Friday on validation of data supplied by the banks. Official sources said the process of validation would continue for some more days as about 76 lakh accounts needed to be verified and Aadhaar seeding had to be done.

The sources said each family would get debt relief to the tune of Rs.1.5 lakh on crop loans after the final list was published. The government would call for objections after coming out with the draft names and the final list would be published between November 15 and 20. Soon after that 20 per cent cash would be paid into the individual accounts of the beneficiaries.
