Framework of DBT
The main objective of the Government of India's Direct Benefit Transfer program is to increase transparency and reduce theft, which prevents the stealing of little goods from the distribution of funds. Citizens who are below the poverty level are promptly given benefits or subsidies.
The Office of Controller General of Accounts is putting the Central Plan Scheme Monitoring System (CPSMS), which serves as a common platform for DBT routing, into action. The beneficiary list may be created, digitally signed, and executed via the CPSMS using the Aadhaar Payment Bridge to make payments into the recipients' bank accounts
In 54 districts across 11 states, including all of Kerala, a modified version of the DBTL plan went into effect on November 15, 2014, enabling LPG consumers who had not previously benefited to get a cash subsidy amount to purchase Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders at market prices.
DBT had been used in 74 programs across 17 ministries of the federal government by the end of May 2016. DBT was used in 400 programs across 46 ministries in December 2017.
