Published by Parlour News

Maharashtra’s loan waiver for farmers announced on Tuesday is the biggest so far for the state, amounting to Rs 36,585 crore. However, the Opposition has claimed that the figure hides the fine print – that stringent qualification conditions mean a lot of farmers will fall out of its umbrella. The Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar farm loan waiver scheme will be enforced from June 20, with 55.72 lakh farmers out of the total 1.7 crore – including land holders, cultivators etc – expected to benefit from it. It is applicable to crop loans taken between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2025, with those who have arrears as of September 30, 2025, eligible for a waiver of up to Rs 2 lakh. Farmers regular with repayments since the last loan waiver in 2019 (by the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray) will receive an incentive grant of Rs 50,000, while those with farm loans above Rs 2 lakh would have to pay only the additional amount. Most importantly, there is no land-holding limit …

Published by Webster

Savi scores a decent weekend, Divya Khossla would be the biggest beneficiary. (Photo Credit – Instagram) It was a decent weekend for Savi as it ended up not just doing much better than expected but also managing such a base for itself that all it requires now is normal trending from here on to pull through. The film started quite well at 2.05 crores when no one could see that coming, and later on Saturday, when all other movies in the running dipped due to normal ticket rates coming into the picture after Cinema Lovers Day, Savi did the contrary by seeing an increase in footfalls, hence resulting in 2.75 crores being collected. All that was needed from here on was a stable enough Sunday and this is what happened as 2.76 crores more were collected at the box office. This is reasonably good, given the budget of the film and the fact that it has a female protagonist (Divya Khossla) in the midst of affairs. What has also helped Savi get better eyeballs is …
