The Maharashtra government on Monday tabled supplementary demands of ₹8,609 crore on the first day of the Budget session of the state assembly.
State finance minister Ajit Pawar tabled the supplementary demands, which are additional funds sought by the government over the budgetary allocation, in the legislative assembly, followed by the council.
"I table the supplementary demands of ₹8,609.17 crore before the House,” Pawar said.
As per the supplementary demand note, demands of ₹2,210 crore were for financial assistance to farmers whose crops were destroyed due to the unseasonal showers, hailstorms and water scarcity.
During the winter session in December last year, supplementary demands of ₹55,520.77 crore were tabled in the state legislature and eventually cleared.
