Govt to roll out DBT scheme for kerosene from April 1

04 Jan 2016 Evaluate

The government will unveil direct benefit transfer (DBT) scheme for kerosene, from 1st April 2016, where the users will buy the cooking fuel at market rate but will get financial support directly in their bank accounts. The scheme will be implemented in selected 26 districts of eight states. This step has come after the success of paying subsidy to LPG users in their bank accounts. The move will help curtail subsidy outgo for kerosene, which in 2014-15 was about Rs 24,799 crore.

Under the scheme, the cash subsidy to be paid to users will be equivalent to the difference between current PDS price of about Rs 12 and market rate of Rs 43 per litre. The scheme will be rolled out from April 1 in Raipur, Durg and Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh, Panipat and Panchkula in Haryana, Shimla, Solan and Una in Himachal Pradesh, Chhatra, Giridih, East Singbhum, Hazaribagh, Jamtara and Khunti in Jharkhand, Hoshangabad, Harda, Khandwa and Burhanpur in Madhya Pradesh, Amaravati and Latur in Maharashtra, Taran, Pathankot and Mohali in Punjab and Pali, Jhunjhunu and Kota in Rajasthan.

With a view to incentivize States and Union Territories to implement DBT in kerosene, it has been decided that the states be given cash incentive of 75 percent of subsidy savings during the first two years, 50 percent in the third year and 25 percent in the fourth year. In order to avoid any inconvience to the beneficiary through the payment of un-subsidised price, subsidy shall be credited to eligible beneficiaries in advance during the initial purchase.
