New Delhi: Government has saved Rs. 59,599 crore up to March 2019 by the elimination of 4.23 crore duplicate, fake/non-existent, inactive LPG connections under the Direct benefit transfer of LPG scheme. The scheme is also known as PAHAL(Pratyaksh Hanstantrit Labh) which was originally launched on June 1, 2013. It basically required the consumer to mandatorily have an Aadhaar number for availing LPG Subsidy. Modi government's #GiveItUp campaign too played a substantial role in achieving these figures.
Union Finance and Corporate Affairs Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Loksabha on Friday that 4.23 crore duplicate, fake/non-existent, inactive LPG connections have been eliminated under this DBT scheme. Under the 'PAHAL' scheme, beneficiaries buy LPG cylinders at market rate and subsequently received subsidy directly in their bank accounts. Direct Benefit Transfer is a landmark initiative of the Government to ensure that benefits under various welfare and subsidy programmes of the country reach eligible and rightful beneficiaries.
