It dropped by ₹1-1.5 lakh crore: Pawar
Maharashtra’s Finance Minister Ajit Pawar on Friday told the Assembly that the pandemic has led to a reduction of the State’s income by around ₹1 to 1.5 lakh crore.
Replying to a question raised by Shiv Sena MLA Prakash Abitkar on the State’s non-payment of the promised subsidy under the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Farm loan waiver scheme, Mr. Pawar said the pandemic has drastically affected the State’s treasury.
“Around ₹1 to 1.5 lakh crore of the State’s income has been reduced due to the pandemic. But we will not forget our promise. Once the State’s economy comes back on track, we will make the payment of subsidy,” he said.
