Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today said the Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had agreed to consider positively the state's demand to withdraw restrictions on district central cooperative banks (DCCB) in the wake of demonetisation.
An all-party delegation from the state, led by Fadnavis, met Jaitley in New Delhi, a statement from the Chief Minister's office said this evening.
The delegation demanded that more cash should be made available in the rural areas for farmers, and restrictions on cash withdrawal or exchange of defunct currency notes at the DCCBs be removed or relaxed.
Jaitley agreed to consider these demands positively, the statement added.
