Direct transfer of kerosene subsidy -TCA Sharad Raghavan

-The Hindu

In a big reform push, the Centre on Friday announced a scheme to implement direct benefit transfers for kerosene subsidies starting April 1, as is already being done for LPG users, by incentivising States to make the transition.

Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Rajasthan have already agreed to initiate the scheme in a few of their districts. Together, these States will implement DBT for kerosene in 26 districts.

Under the scheme, the consumer would be required to pay the full unsubsidised price of kerosene at the time of purchase. The subsidy amount will then be directly transferred to their bank account.
