Latur Implements Special Aadhaar Verification for Farmers Under Loan Waiver Scheme
In Maharashtra's Latur district, a special Aadhaar authentication process has been introduced for elderly farmers and those unable to provide fingerprints under the 'Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Farmers' Loan Waiver Scheme 2026'. Farmers are advised to visit 'Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra' with their Aadhaar card and bank passbook. If fingerprint authentication fails after multiple attempts, the case is forwarded to the tehsildar for identity verification using documents. Upon successful verification, eligible farmers will receive loan waiver benefits directly into their bank accounts.
