Agriculture department clarifies Rs 6 credit as interest payment, farmer expresses frustration over negligible bank transfer

Ch. Sambhajinagar, Nov 6 (UNI) The state Agriculture department of Maharashtra has issued an official clarification regarding a six-rupee credit transferred to a farmer’s bank account, explaining that the amount represented interest payment rather than government compensation for crop damages.
District Superintendent of Agriculture Officer P. R. Deshmukh from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar clarified today that the amount was neither part of the crop insurance disbursement nor issued under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, but rather a system-generated interest credit.
The clarification followed complaints by farmer Digambar Sudhakar Tagde from Dawarwadi village in Paithan taluka, who had received the six-rupee deposit while awaiting compensation for extensive crop losses caused by heavy rainfall that devastated farmlands across the region.
