NEW DELHI: While declaring that her government was keen to take the Aadhaar-based cash transfers to 30 lakh beneficiaries across various schemes, chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday expressed concern over obstacles in the delivery of cash transfers due to non-cooperation of banks.

She urged Unique Identification Authority of India chairman Nandan Nilekani to work towards speeding up the bank account opening process linked to Aadhaar enrolments. Dikshit also plans to take up the issue with finance minister P Chidambaram.

One of the flagship schemes of the state is the Annshree Yojana (Cash for Food) scheme wherein a monthly subsidy of Rs 600 is given to beneficiaries not covered by the public distribution system. CM told Nilekani that Delhi government planned to facilitate direct transfer of cash subsidies and other financial assistance to beneficiaries of various central and state schemes.

The beneficiaries have been facing difficulties in withdrawing money. "We will install small ATMs at 140 gender resource centres, 11 offices of DCs of revenue and in offices of food and supply department," she said. The government will give the status of "bank correspondents" to employees of these offices.
