Hyderabad: When the bank officials tried to tally the data for the loan waiver scheme in AP, they found that around 16.21 lakh account numbers mismatched. During verification, they found cellphone numbers and bank balance figures in place of bank account numbers.
In some accounts, the names of farmers were also entered wrong. The issue has become serious in light of the fact that the system will reject the account, if any data is entered wrong.
AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had given a deadline of October 27 to hand over the final list of eligible farmers. The bankers on Monday informed the AP finance department that 16.21 lakh accounts had mismatched data and about 15 lakh accounts had no Aadhaar numbers.
The finance department has sent back these 30 lakh accounts for correcting the data. The bankers will now have to submit the list by October 30.
