Weavers’ Loans Availed From 2010 Be waived: KTR

State government pushed back the eligibility date for scheme from January 1 of 2014 to April 1 of 2010. Thus, weavers who availed loans from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2017 will get waiver of loans up to Rs 1 lakh availed by them during the period.

Though the government had set June 2, 2014, as retrospective cut-off date for implementation of all its schemes, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao considered the loan waiver of weavers as a special case following repeated pleas from weavers that the previous Congress government did not implement loan waiver scheme for weavers after 2010. Hence, fresh orders were issued on Friday pushing back the eligibility date to April 1 of 2010.
