Justice MM Das Commission of enquiry, probing the multi-crore rupee chit fund scam in the State, has begun the process for refund of money to the investors by making a list.
Out of a total of 8.17 lakh affidavits verified by the Commission, scanning of 7.22 lakh affidavits has been completed of which the commission has prepared list of investors who had deposited less than Rs10,000 in the chit fund companies.
The Commission has handed over list to representatives of the two chit fund companies, the Seashore Group of Companies and the Artha Tatwa (AT) Group, on whom it had served notices in the first phase.
Talking to the mediapersons on Sunday, Justice Das said a field verification might be required so that the Commission, with the help of the State Government, would constitute a committee to identify the genuine investors by examining their documents and affidavits.
“After this process is completed, the Commission, in its interim report, will recommend the Government to start process of payment to these small investors,” he added.
