The way for the implementation of the Ordinance regarding the regulation of the government and the return of savers' funds has been cleared by the President on Sunday.
Now the Ordinance will come into effect from the date of its publication in the Gazette. Many improvements have been made in the Ordinance, but it is seen that it is incomplete and needs to be further amended. There is little possibility that the savers of the troubled cooperatives will get their money back within this financial year only from the current ordinance. Because it is mentioned that the saver's money will be returned only after the money is collected by auctioning the securities in the cooperative. Rather, it has been said that the government will give it for the time being and later collect the research fee from the cooperative. The auction process takes a long time to start and finish. There are also legal problems. Therefore, no one's savings are likely to be returned this financial year.
So far, the government does not even have the data of the victims. It is mentioned that the government will refund the savings victims of less than 5 lakh in the government institutions in the budget of the current financial year. For 7 months since then, synco has not been broken on this matter. On the other hand, neither the government has the ability to return the money to all the victims nor is there any money in the coffers. In the same ordinance, the savings limit is correct, but the loan limit is not the same. If the ordinance stipulates that district-level cooperatives cannot give loans of more than 10 lakhs, it may cause more problems by reducing the business of good cooperatives. Therefore, this provision to reduce business needs to be amended. Don't look at 10% bad co-workers and annoy 90% good co-workers.
