&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aid to be transferred to bank accounts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre has ordered State welfare boards for building and other construction workers (BOCW) not to distribute household and other articles to workers and instead stick to transferring monetary assistance into their bank accounts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Labour and Employment Ministry said in a statement on Thursday that it issued an order to States on Monday directing the boards not to distribute articles. The BOCW boards are meant to carry out welfare activities for workers from the cess on construction collected by States.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Ministry said it had come to its notice that some State boards had issued tenders or incurred expenditure on distribution of articles like lanterns, blankets, umbrellas, cycles and utensils, instead of spending on &amp;ldquo;tangible welfare measures&amp;rdquo; like insurance, disability cover and maternity benefits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The procurement process adds layers to the entire process, with apprehension of leakages both at the procurement stage and at the distribution end, hence this decision was prompted,&amp;rdquo; the Ministry said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It added that distribution of cash and articles in kind were banned. However, benefits in kind could be provided in extraordinary situations like natural disasters, epidemics and accidents, with the approval of the State government, it said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aid to be transferred to bank accounts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre has ordered State welfare boards for building and other construction workers (BOCW) not to distribute household and other articles to workers and instead stick to transferring monetary assistance into their bank accounts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Labour and Employment Ministry said in a statement on Thursday that it issued an order to States on Monday directing the boards not to distribute articles. The BOCW boards are meant to carry out welfare activities for workers from the cess on construction collected by States.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Ministry said it had come to its notice that some State boards had issued tenders or incurred expenditure on distribution of articles like lanterns, blankets, umbrellas, cycles and utensils, instead of spending on &amp;ldquo;tangible welfare measures&amp;rdquo; like insurance, disability cover and maternity benefits.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The procurement process adds layers to the entire process, with apprehension of leakages both at the procurement stage and at the distribution end, hence this decision was prompted,&amp;rdquo; the Ministry said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It added that distribution of cash and articles in kind were banned. However, benefits in kind could be provided in extraordinary situations like natural disasters, epidemics and accidents, with the approval of the State government, it said.&lt;/p&gt;

Centre tells worker welfare boards not to distribute items, stick to DBT

-The Hindu Aid to be transferred to bank accounts The Centre has ordered State welfare boards for building and other construction workers (BOCW) not to distribute household and other articles to workers and instead stick to transferring monetary assistance into their bank accounts. The Labour and Employment Ministry said in a statement on Thursday that it issued an order to States on Monday directing the boards not to distribute articles. The BOCW boards are meant to carry out welfare activities for workers from the cess on construction collected by States. The Ministry said it had come to its notice that some State boards had issued tenders or incurred expenditure on distribution of articles like lanterns, blankets, umbrellas, cycles and utensils, instead of spending on “tangible welfare measures” like insurance, disability cover and maternity benefits. “The procurement process adds layers to the entire process, with apprehension of leakages both at the procurement stage and at the distribution end, hence this decision was prompted,” the Ministry said. It added that distribution of cash and articles in kind were banned. However, benefits in kind could be provided in extraordinary situations like natural disasters, epidemics and accidents, with the approval of the State government, it said.
