    When was the DBT originally rolled out?
    Credits:
  • The original DBT scheme was launched by the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government by enabling cash transfer through linking of bank accounts with Aadhar numbers.

    However, when the SC observed that Aadhar cards cannot be used as proof of citizenship in 2013, the scheme was discontinued.

    The NDA government had restarted DBT in 54 districts in mid-November of 2014, making Aadhar cards noncompulsory.

    Credits:
  • The Direct Benefits Transfer scheme of the NDA Government aimed to facilitate cash subsidy to LPG consumers.

    Consumers are required to purchase the LPG from dealerships and retail outlets at direct market prices, and link their Aadhar card or LPG number to their bank accounts.

    The difference in market price and subsidized prices will then be transferred directly to the consumers bank account.

    Fake connections and real benefits

  • According to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural gas, one in 14 LPG connections in India is duplicate. In March 2015, there were 12.3 million "duplicate" connections of fake consumers across India.

    The highlight of the success of the DBT was in December 2014, when it was accorded the Guinness record for world's largest direct benefit transfer scheme.
