The next slot of the fund was to be received in July. FCI was also raising a short term loan about 30,000 Crore.In the past financial year, the government had initially allocated Rs 97,000 crore to FCI, which was later increased to Rs 1.12 lakh crore at the revised estimate stage. This helped bring down subsidy arrear to Rs 58,650 crore till March.
As told by the Department of Public Distribution, these funds with loans will serve as a sufficient requirement to take care of the Rabi procurement and expecting to receive around 300 lakh tons of wheat.
In 2015-16, the subsidy originally allocated was 97,000 Crore and this increased to 1,12,000 Crore by the revised norms which helped to clear arrears in the subsidy.
