Mamata had said that co-operative banks would not be allowed to attach properties of farmers for loan recovery in cases of default

Refinance institution Nabard today said it would oppose any amendment to West Bengal Cooperative Societies Act of, 2006 as suggested recently by state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

"If the West Bengal government goes ahead with amending the Act without informing Nabard, then we will oppose it," National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), Chief General Manager of regional office, S Padmanabhan said.

"If the proposed amendment went against the spirit of the MoU signed among the Centre, state government and Nabard, then we will oppose it", Padmanabhan told reporters here.

Banerjee had said that co-operative banks would not be allowed to attach properties of farmers for loan recovery in cases of default.

The government decision was also strongly criticised the West Bengal State Cooperative Bank and others.

On Nabard's performance in West Bengal during the last year, he said loans provided to state government and financial institutions grew by 24.22% in 2011-12 to Rs 2,784 crore.

To a query, he said the proposed state highways authority could also avail of Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) assistance for construction in rural areas.

Disbursement during the current financial year would be 15% to 20% higher (compared to previous fiscal), he said.
