The following are details of how to register and claim a refund through the CRCS Sahara Refund Portal. But first, let’s understand why this portal has been launched and what it intends to serve.
The CRCS Sahara Refund Portal has been launched following a Supreme Court order date 29th March 2023. The apex court had directed the transfer of Rs 5000 crore from the ‘Sahara-SEBI Refund Account’ to the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies (CRCS) for “disbursement against the legitimate dues of the genuine depositors of the Sahara Group of Cooperative Societies”.
In view of this order, the Government has developed Sahara Refund Portal where genuine depositors can claim refunds online. Initially, only Rs 10,000 of the total claim would be disbursed to each depositor. But the depositors are required to submit their total claim on the online CRCS Refund Portal along with necessary proofs (see below).
