Demonetization paralyses agricultural credit societies

Over 21,000 agricultural credit societies (ACS) with a cumulative working capital of Rs.40,000 crore are paralyzed due to demonetization. RBI barred ACS and co-operative societies from exchanging or depositing demonetized currency dealing a blow to their farmer account-holders. Despite repeated requests, FM Arun Jaitley has refused to reconsider the prohibition. Banks are unable to provide money to farmers adversely impacting them during sowing season.
