Streamlining kerosene subsidy next on agenda: Jaitley
Streamlining the kerosene subsidy is next on government's agenda to plug diversion and black marketing of the fuel, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said. Notably, with an aim to take Public Distribution System (PDS) kerosene to the targeted beneficiary, the government has reportedly decided to implement the direct benefit transfer in kerosene (DBTK) in 39 districts in 2016-17.
