The decision to waive off loans borrowed from licensed money lenders would provide great relief to farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada. The needy farmers take loans from money lenders mortgaging their lands, livestock, gold and other valuables. Considering more harassment for farmers to borrow loans from private money lenders than institutional loans, the State Cabinet decided to waive such loans of farmers.
