The
Central government will implement modified ‘DBTL’ (Direct Benefit Transfer for
LPG) from November 15 in 52 districts, including Adilabad, in the country.
The
central government has come out with the MDBTL making some minor changes in the
DBTL. Under the modified DBTL, consumers need not have Aadhaar number. It will
be sufficient if they can provide their bank account number.
The amount of subsidy being given to
the LPG by the central government will be transferred into the bank account of
the consumer but initially, the consumer has to purchase the cylinder at the
price fixed without subsidy.
The best practices adopted in
Aadhaar seeding, with the LPG connection and bank account, in Adilabad of
Telangana and East Godavari of Andhra Pradesh will be replicated in other
districts in the country.
These two districts have gained the
distinction of achieving highest seeding in the country. Adilabad has the
distinction of achieving 92 per cent LPG connections seeding with Aadhaar and
72 percent seeding with bank accounts and it is the best performance as far as
Aadhaar seeding is concerned in the country.
Recently, petroleum companies held a
meeting with the gas agencies and instructed them to be ready to implement the
MDBTL. However, the LPG cylinder price, excluding the subsidy amount, would be
announced before the launching date. Under the MDBTL, the gas agencies will
seed the consumers’ gas connection numbers with their bank accounts, if they do
not have Aadhaar card.
Owner of a gas agency in Adilabad
said they have received information from the petroleum companies that the
Centre will implement the Modified DBTL from November 15.
People faced a lot of trouble in
getting the reimbursement due to incomplete Aadhaar seeding earlier. They stood
in queues but could not get cards.
