Stating that the sample size taken for auditing was too small, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has sought for a comprehensive audit by CAG, regarding misappropriation of funds under the Rs 52,000-crore farm debt waiver scheme.
The Minister's comments come in the wake of CAG finding a number of shortcomings in implementation of the scheme. It pointed out thousands of beneficiaries were not eligible while those eligible were denied the benefits.
Pawar said banks can recover money from non-eligible farmers and said the Centre will have to take decision on extending benefits to eligible farmers.
