Justice MM Das Commission’s tenure was slated to end on February 4, 2019.
It is worthwhile to mention here that the Odisha government had appointed the MM Das Commission in July 2013 to investigate the chit fund scam in the state.
Notably, the Commission, which has already submitted five interim reports, has identified lakhs of small investors who had invested less than Rs 10,000 in the chit fund companies. Besides, it has recommended refund of money to the duped investors.
