The Justice M M Das Commission of Inquiry, probing into the multi-crore chit fund scam in Odisha has submitted its interim report to the State government. The report in a sealed cover was submitted to the Home department by the Commission’s secretary yesterday.
Sources said the Commission in its report has recommended the process on how to refund money to small depositors (below 10,000 rupees deposit) who had lost their money to chit fund firms.
Sources also said the Commission has prepared the interim report on the basis of 26,976 affidavits out of the more than 8 lakh affidavits filed with it. Notably, the Odisha government on July 9, 2013, formed a one-man commission to probe the chit fund scam in the State.
