District Magistrate Arvind Malappa Bangari said Chiddi Singh would get his due waiver of Rs one lakh after he gets his functioning bank account linked with the Aadhaar card.
Bangari said that while waiving the loan in first phase, only bank accounts linked with the Aadhaar card were taken into consideration.
According to the DM, Singh had opened an account with the Punjab National Bank in Govardhan in 2011. Due to irregularities, the account was "restructured" and a different account was opened with the bank, he said.
"As the restructured account of Chiddi Singh shows loan of Rs 2,23,222 he will get the benefit of Rs one lakh after this account is linked to the Aadhaar card," Bangari said.
