In 6 years, Modi government sent 13 lakh crore rupees to people’s account, if you have missed it, know this way

At present, 52 ministries of the Center and 381 schemes of the Center are under DBT. This scheme to eliminate corruption in subsidies and send money directly to the account of the poor is being run at a rapid pace.




Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) means money directly into the beneficiary’s bank account. In India, this scheme is considered a revolutionary step because it has changed the entire system. In India, there was huge loot in the name of subsidy. Lakhs of crores of rupees used to fill the middlemen’s pockets for the rights of the poor. To end this entire misrule of corruption, the government started the DBT scheme, which is benefiting crores of people of the country today. The President himself mentioned this on Friday and said that with the help of the DBT which was being ignored, more than Rs 13 lakh crore has been transferred to the beneficiaries in the last 6 years.

The President said this in the budget address. The President said, my government has shown that intentions are clear, change can be brought if intentions are high. The number of lives my government has touched in these years is unprecedented. For no one else to take away the ration of the poor, 100 percent ration cards have been digitalized, 90 percent ration cards have been linked to Aadhaar.

The entire subsidy system changed

Through DBTL, the government has given a U-turn to the subsidy in a way. Earlier the subsidy was given to gas companies and gas distributors, now the same subsidy is given directly in the hands of the consumer. Earlier, the government used to give direct subsidy to companies producing LPG gas. Based on this subsidy, oil marketing companies used to supply LPG cylinders at subsidy rates to distributors. The cylinders of the cylinders were used extensively in the hands of the distributors and their vendors. There were also consumers who used to buy cylinders at a cheaper rate and sell them at an expensive price. There used to be huge subsidy loot in this.

This system has changed completely. In today’s new DBT system, subsidy gets transferred to the consumer’s account without any disturbance. According to a figure, the government had saved Rs 6500 crore to Rs 12700 crore due to this new system by the year 2015. This figure is estimated, the amount can be more than this. Due to the new system, subsidy leakage up to 25 percent has been prevented and the effect is that subsidy is also available and cylinder is available on time.

Subsidy money comes in your account which is linked to Aadhaar in the bank. For subsidy money, you have to open your account in a bank, it can also be a Jan Dhan account. For this, your KYC also has to be done. A few days after the cylinder is supplied, money comes into your account. Its message comes, or you can go to the branch and check the balance to know whether the subsidy money has come or not.

Benefits in many schemes

This example is not limited to just cylinder supply. Many central government schemes are running on the basis of DBT. In this, the government now sends money directly to the beneficiaries account. Whether it is Kisan Samman Nidhi or Jan Dhan Yojana, or Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Man-Dhan Yojana, the assistance amount is being transferred to the beneficiaries using DBT. This amount goes directly into their account, thereby preventing corruption. The biggest benefit of DBT is being told that depositing subsidy in bank accounts will eliminate leakages, delays and other deficiencies.

How much money was transferred

According to the government, through the DBT, during the Corona period, the central government has transferred two and a quarter lakh rupees to the account of the poor. There have been more than 116 crore transactions in the last financial year. Through DBT, now the entire money of the central government is going to the beneficiaries account. Till August last year, the amount of Rs 3 lakh crore was transferred to the account of the poor. Of this, a record amount of two and a quarter crore was sent to the account of the poor during the Corona period. From the year 2014 to January 2020, DBT has also saved Karbare quarter to two lakh crore rupees. This amount used to reach the middlemen or brokers earlier.
