The State Cabinet, which met here today under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan decided to make it compulsory to have a license for money lending. The loans given by non-licensee money lenders will be nullified by making a law regarding this.
Legal action would be taken to ascertain the rate of interest on farm loans given by licence holding money lenders. The Madhya Pradesh Money Lending Act 1934 will be amended to effect the new provisions.
The Cabinet decided to convert fixed term loans given by the state government to power companies into perpetual loans to make them financially viable. It was also decided to fill 139 posts of Exercise Inspectors by direct recruitment. A number of important decisions were taken.It may be noted here that small farmers suffer exploitation by non-licensee money lenders and in many cases they repay more than the principal amount and still remain unable to clear debts. Keeping this in view, the Cabinet decided that all loans given by non-licensee money lenders would be deemed nullified under the new provisions of Money Lending Act 1934. Such loans could not be recovered through any court. It has also been decided to fix rate of interest on farm loans given by licensee money lenders.
No money lender would be able to take rate of interest at his wish. He will have to abide by the rate of interest fixed by the state government. The State Government will notify rate of interest from time to time. Money lenders will have give loans at the notified rate of interest. It may be mentioned here that the Chief Minister Shri Chouhan had made an announcement regarding this on January 15, 2011 last.
The cabinet approved financial reconstruction proposal for making power companies financial viable. According to the financial reconstruction proposal, the fixed term loans given by the State Government to power distribution companies will be converted into perpetual loans. Lowering the rate of interests was also agreed. It was decided to keep the prevalent rate of interests on working capital at par with the base rate of state bank of India.
The State Cabinet has also decided to convert electricity charge and cess payable to the State Government by power companies from monthly to perpetual loans. Besides, there will be no payment of electricity bills from Sardar Sarovar Project for coming three years. Decisions regarding converting the power dues into perpetual loans and lowering of rate of interest payable on them were also taken up.
This decision will not only help the power companies become financial viable but also help distribution companies reduce their distribution losses and improve revenue collection efficiency. This will improve faster the financial health of power companies.
Power Purchase Agreement Approved
In order to encourage private sector for establishment of thermal power project, the state government signed agreements with the private sector companies.

The Cabinet approved the Power Purchase Agreement. The Madhya Pradesh Power Trading Company Limited has been authorised for implementation of the Agreement.

The state will get power allocation through Government of India at the tariff decided by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission.
