(PIB)The process for implementing the direct transfer of
cash subsidy on PDS Kerosene has been initiated in 11 identified
states/UTs. The Department of Food and Public Distribution proposes to
implement direct transfer of food subsidy to the Targeted Public
Distribution System beneficiaries in 6 Union Territories on a pilot
basis. With regard to fertilizers, the Government has not asked the
State Governments to prepare for direct transfer of cash for fertilizer
subsidy to the poor through banks by 01.01.2013.
The concerned Central Ministries have set up Implementation Committees on Direct Cash Transfer for sorting out the issues of hassle free transfer of cash to the beneficiaries with due consultation with State Governments.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
