Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG

subsidy money will directly go to the consumer's account and not to the distributer's account.

• Scholarship and Pension

• The money is directly transferred into bank accounts of beneficiaries

having Aadhar cards.

• LPG and kerosene subsidies, pension payments, scholarships and employment guarantee scheme payments as well as benefits under other government welfare programmes will be made directly to beneficiaries.

• Under the DBT each and every beneficiary has to establish his identity and eligibility many times by producing multiple documents for verification.  The verification of such documents is done by multiple authorities.

• The main advantage of the DBT is that leakages are avoided as the government directly provides the fund to the beneficiary. Money is sent into the bank account of the beneficiary.

• Another advantage of DBT is that it helps the government to better target the beneficiary. Here the facilitating mechanism is Aadhaar. Since Aadhaar is the universal ID, government can identity the beneficiary from his Aadhaar details while connecting it with DBT.

SUCCESS OF DBT IN INDIA

Presently, 66 Schemes of 15 Ministries on DBT

Rs. 61,822 cr distributed to 31 cr beneficiaries in 2015-16

Around 76 lakh students got scholarship in 2015-16

Over 36 lakh farmers have registered themselves for DBT.

It is estimated that over the time it could save up to 1.2% of GDP

The program is inspired by such successful schemes existing in countries like Brazil and Mexico and cities like New York and Washington. In India too, introducing this new way of physically-delivering subsidies may seem a brilliant technological shot to end the middlemen fraud.
