Instruction : Political ploys initially hailed as master-strokes often end up as flops. The Rs. 60,000 crore farm loan waiver announced in the budget writes off 100% of overdues of small and marginal farmers holding upto two hectares, and 25% of overdues of larger farmers. While India has enjoyed 8%-9% GDP growth for the past few years, the boom has bypassed many rural areas and farmer distress and suicides have made newspaper headlines. Various attempts to provide relief (employment guarantee scheme, public distribution system) have made little impact, thanks to huge leakages from the lousy delivery systems of government. So, many economists think the loan waiver is a worthwhile alternative to provide relief.

However the poorest rural folk are landless labourers, who get neither farm loans nor waivers. Half of the small and marginal farmers get no loans from banks and depend entirely on money-lenders, and will not benefit. Besides, rural India is full of the family holdings rather than individual holdings and family holdings will typically be much larger than two hectares even for dirt-poor farmers, who will, therefore, be denied the 100% waiver. It will thus fail in both economic and political objectives. IRDP loans to the rural poor in the 1980s demonstrated that crooked bank officials demand bribes amounting to one-third the intended benefits. Very few of the intended beneficiaries who merited relief received it. After the last farm loan waiver will similarly slow down fresh loans to deserving farmers. While overdues to co-operatives may be higher, economist Surjit Bhalla says less than 5% of farmer loans to banks are overdue i.e. overdues exist for only 2.25 million out of 90 million farmers. If so, then the 95% who have repaid loans will not benefit. They will be angry at being penalised for honesty.

The budget thus grossly overestimates the number of beneficiaries. It also underestimates the negative effects of the waiver-encouraging willful default in the future and discouraging fresh bank lending for some years. Instead of trying to reach the needy, through a plethora of leaky schemes we should transfer cash directly to the needy using new technology like biometric smart cards, which are now being used in many countries and mobile phones bank accounts. Then benefits can go directly to phone accounts operable only by those with biometric cards, ending the massive leakage of current schemes.

The political benefits of the loan waiver have also been exaggerated since if only a small fraction of farm families benefit and many of these have to pay bribes to get the actual benefit, will the waiver really be a massive vote-winner? Members of joint families will feel aggrieved that, despite having less than one hectare per head their family holding is too large, to qualify for the 100% waiver. All finance ministers, of central or state governments, give away freebies in their last budgets, hoping to win electoral regards. Yet, four-fifth of all incumbent governments are voted out. This shows that beneficiaries of favours are not notably grateful, while those not so favoured may feel aggrieved, and vote for the opposition. That seems to be why election budgets constantly fall to win elections in India and the loan waiver will not change that pattern.(From Ques 26 to Ques 30)

Ques 26. Which of the following statement/statements is/are true in the context of the passage?
1. One-fourth of the overdue loans of landless labourers will be written off.
2. The Rs. 60,000 crore loan waiver has been sanctioned for
2.25 million marginal farmers.
3. Any farmer with between 26 per cent to 100 per cent of their loan repayments overdue will be penalised.
1. Only 1
2. Only 2
3. Both 2 and 3
4. All 1[comma] 2 and 3


Ques 27. What was the outcome of IRDP loans to the rural poor?
1. The percentage of bank loan sanctioned to family owned farms increased.
2. The loans benefited dishonest moneylenders not landless labourers.
3. Corrupt bank officials were the unintended beneficiaries of the loans.
4. It resulted in the Government sanctioning thrice the amount for the current loans waiver.


Ques 28. What is the author’s suggestion to provide aid to farmers?
1. Families should split their joint holding to take advantage of the loan waiver.
2. The government should increase the reach of the employment guarantee scheme.
3. Loans should be disbursed directly into bank accounts of the farmers using the latest technology.
4. Government should ensure that loans waivers can be implemented over the number of years.


Ques 29. What message will the loan waiver send to farmers who have repaid loans?
1. The Government will readily provide them with loans in the future.
2. As opposed to money lenders banks are a safer and more reliable source of credit.
3. Honesty is the best policy.
4. It is beneficial to take loans from co-operatives since their rates of interest are lower.


Ques 30. Why do economists feel that loan waivers will benefit farmers in distress?
1. It will improve the standard of living of those farmers who can afford to repay their loans but are exempted.
2. Other government relief measures have proved ineffective.
3. Suicide rate of farmers have declined after the announcement of the waiver.
4. Farmers will be motivated to increase the size of their family holdings not individual holdings.
