He said some payments are being held back due to non-verification of bank account and Aadhaar details, death of insured farmers or failure of NEFT. “District collectors have been directed to complete the formalities of account verification, Aadhaar authentication and inheritance certificate as soon as possible. Once these formalities are completed, payments will be made without delay,” he told the House.The minister said the current government had paid Rs 6,328 crore in insurance claims for rabi and kharif crops, while Rs 188 crore was pending during the previous government’s tenure.Citing a case from Karanpur area of ​​Sriganganagar district, Meena said, “During inspection, it was found that inspectors of an insurance company were signing extortion letters on behalf of farmers, agriculture supervisors and revenue officials.” He said that out of 170,000 forms tested, 32,000 forms had zero damage to the crop even though the actual loss was in the range of 50-70%, resulting in an estimated loss of Rs 128 million to farmers.“An FIR has been registered in Rola and a police investigation is underway. Prima facie, it has been found that Kshema Insurance Company was at fault. We have written to the central government asking the company not to bid in the future,” Meena said.Meena also flagged Salazar’s alleged fraud involving 71 fake bank accounts opened in the names of farmers at SBI branches. “The insurance premium deductions were processed through fake accounts based on fake documents.
