In the case of ‘other farmers’, upon granting OTS relief, the lending institution shall issue a certificate to the effect that the loan account has been settled to the satisfaction of the lending institution and specifically mention the eligible amount, the amount paid by the farmer as his share and the amount of OTS relief. Upon issuing the certificate the lending institution shall take an acknowledgement from the farmer.
