Replying to CPM leader Sitaram Yechury’s claim that the Government was favoring crocodiles and small fishes were dying from demonetisation, Minister Arjun Jaitley pressed Rajya Sabha members not to go by the literal meaning of write-off.

On speaking about the allegation raised by Sitaram Yechury, Jaitley stated that “write-off doesn’t mean loan maafi. The loan remains and we will chase the loan. The entry in the book changed from a being a performing asset to a non-performing asset.”

“Write-off is simply an accounting entry which results in more focus and more regular follow-up. It is just a technical entry which is done to put a separate account where the follow-up is tougher. These accounts are only meant for recovery.”
