Maharashtra releases first loan waiver list
The Maharashtra government has released the first list of farmers who will benefit from their farm loan waiver scheme.
Only 533 farmers were included in this initial list.
The government is being careful and checking tax records to make sure only eligible farmers get the waiver.
They had to do this because some people who paid taxes got benefits in another scheme, which cost the government a lot of money.
The rest of the farmers will be announced later once the tax data is received.
Only 533 farmers were named in the first list of beneficiaries of Maharashtra's farm loan waiver scheme.
The government is verifying tax status to exclude tax-paying farmers from the scheme.
The remaining beneficiaries will be announced after receiving data from the Income Tax Department.
The government sought tax details after a previous scheme saw income tax paying women receive benefits.
Cooperation Minister Babasaheb Patil released the first list.
