Government Actions for Clarity and Public Awareness
Understanding the need to inform everyone, the Tripura government is publishing details about the refund scheme in several local newspapers. Notices will appear in Bengali and Kokborok to reach regional indigenous communities. This wide publicity aims to reach all affected depositors and keep everyone updated.
Property Sales and Fund Recovery
The money recovered through this scheme mainly comes from selling properties taken from chit fund companies that didn’t pay back. So far, sales have brought in over ₹10.78 crore, which are given back to victims as refunds. This way of recovering money helps provide a steady flow of funds to pay affected depositors and supports the scheme’s success.
Next Steps and Important Dates
The High Court has set the next hearing for August 8, 2025, to check progress and deal with any issues about the scheme’s operations. Many victims have also asked to identify and sell remaining properties to make sure everyone gets fully paid back. You should keep an eye on official announcements through local newspapers or government notices.
