Manager of the concerned Bank at Umaria. A scheme
was brought by the higher authorities that Kisan
Credit Cards be distributed amongst various
agriculturists and a target of 15 lakhs was given to the
agriculturist society Pali. The scheme was launched to
provide easy loan to the various cultivators. It was the
duty of the Branch Manager to peruse the entire
records and to process, and thereafter to recommend
for the loan on the basis of the property of the various
cultivators. In the scheme loans were granted to the
various cultivators. At the time of recovery, it was
found that loan was given to so many persons who did
not belong to the particular area in which the Bank has
jurisdiction and some of the persons were not the
members of the Samiti at Pali. The entire amount of
the loan was not distributed to the various cultivators
and they were given some portion of the loan and
remaining loan amount was received by the Branch
Manager and other office bearers. Some of the persons
made a complaint to the AJAK Police Station Umaria
and investigation took place. After due investigation, a
charge sheet was filed.
