The state government's effort to provide a loan waiver up to one lakh for farmers has hit a snag due to technical glitches. Some farmers have reported that the waiver amount was sent to their inactive bank accounts, resulting in the money bouncing back. Additionally, others have received notifications about the money being deposited but found their accounts empty upon checking. Bank officials point out various reasons for these discrepancies. Some farmers have multiple accounts, with some of them being frozen, leading to confusion. In certain cases, banks have applied the waiver money towards old debts, leaving little to no funds for the farmers. Furthermore, despite some farmers having crop loans under one lakh since 2018, they haven't benefited from the waiver. This series of miscommunications and technical errors have left many farmers puzzled and in need of clearer information.
