A letter from the finance ministry, on April 26, reads that the funds should be repaid in the next 20 years – including a five-year grace period – at a rate of five percent interest. The installments should be paid every six-months.

The letter also reads that the fund should not be used for any other purposes than paying the due salaries of the BJMC workers.   

All the standard government rules should be followed during disbursements of the funds. If any inconsistencies are found, the relevant official will have to bear the liabilities.
