Amount Credited Directly To Loan Accounts

Under the scheme, 5,169 farmers received benefits amounting to Rs 29.20 crore on August 7, while another 2,695 farmers received Rs 14.81 crore on August 24. With this, a total of 7,702 farmers have received debt waiver benefits amounting to Rs 43.36 crore. The sanctioned amount has been credited directly to the respective loan accounts, following which certificates confirming the farmers’ debt-free status have also been distributed.

However, 2,148 farmers are yet to complete Aadhaar authentication, preventing them from receiving the benefit. Officials noted that 1,965 farmers do not currently have a Farmer ID, which is required for completing the process.

Support For Pending Cases

Of these, 562 farmers are deceased, while 510 are forest rights title holders. The administration has urged the concerned families of deceased farmers to approach the respective bank branches and complete the process of recording legal heirs in the loan accounts. Forest rights title holders have been advised to approach the concerned Talathi to complete their Farmer ID and AgriStack registration.

Farmers facing difficulties related to the scheme can submit written complaints to the concerned Tehsildar, Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies or bank branch. So far, 26 complaints have been received online and resolved through the district-level committee.

Dr. Jakhar appealed to all eligible farmers to complete their AgriStack/Farmer ID registration and Aadhaar authentication at the earliest so that they can avail themselves of the benefits of the debt waiver scheme within the stipulated period.
