— Loan waiver benefit for Punjab
Chandigarh, June 25
The Punjab government is upset as
benefit to farmers from the loan waiver scheme announced by the union
government will be negligible. Sources said benefit to Punjab farmers
will be Rs 867 crore which is just little over 1 per cent of the total
amount, about Rs 71,000 crore, to be waived across the country. Sources
said all banks in coordination with Punjab National Bank, a lead bank in
Punjab, have finalised the lists of farmers whose loan is to be waived.
