₹36k crore saved through DBT scheme: PM Modi
Stressing on the use of information technology to check leakages of subsidy, PM Narendra Modi on Monday said ₹36,000 crore were saved through the use of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme. "If this was not there, it would have gone into someone's pocket," he asserted. Under DBT, all cash benefits are transferred directly to the beneficiary's bank account.
