Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil expressed shock at the death of a 55-year-old farmer in Alappuzha on Saturday, but denied that delay in repayment of Paddy Receipt Sheet (PRS) loans by the government had impacted his CIBIL score.
Mr. Anil, in a statement, said the farmer, K.G. Prasad of Thakazhi, was paid for the paddy procured from him in the 2021-22 season. The PRS loan availed from Federal Bank on this account too had been repaid. In the 2022-23 season, 4,896 kg of paddy was procured from him. The price, ₹1,38,655, was sanctioned to him under the PRS loan scheme through Kerala Bank. The loan repayment date was not yet due.
This showed that the PRS loan dues had not affected his CIBIL score, the Minister said.
