It is to be noted that Amitabh has done an ‘OTS: One Time Settlement with Bank of India’ and cleared the farmer’s loans with the bank. He will personally meet farmers at his office in Mumbai and will give them their bank letters on November 26.
Being asked about the development, Amitabh Bachchan’s spokesperson confirmed and said, “Yes, Mr Bachchan has cleared the loans of 1398 farmers from Uttar Pradesh. He had earlier paid off the loans of Maharashtra’s farmers. And now he has done so for the debted farmers of UP. Around 70 farmers have been chosen to personally travel and receive the bank letters directly from Mr Bachchan in Mumbai, clearing their outstanding dues.”
According to Amitabh Bachchan’s spokesperson, the superstar will arrange for 70 farmers to travel to Mumbai and receive their bank letters. “Amitabh will be taking care of 1,398 farmer loans from Uttar Pradesh amounting to over Rs 4.05 crore,” the spokesperson added.
