The Maharashtra government has detected around 1.5 million bank accounts with no "credible credit history", allegedly created to avail benefits of the state's farm loan waiver worth â¹34,000 crore. The accounts were reportedly discovered as part of the government's attempt to build a database of farmers with authenticated biometric information tallying with their Aadhaar numbers and bank accounts.
