The Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system has yielded impressive results, achieving cumulative savings of a staggering Rs 3.48 lakh crore, the Ministry of Finance announced on Monday, April 21, 2025. This significant figure is the result of a new quantitative assessment conducted by the BlueKraft Digital Foundation.
The assessment highlights the effectiveness of DBT in plugging leakages within the welfare delivery system. This has led to substantial financial gains for the government.
The findings underscore the transformative potential of technology in improving governance and resource allocation. This success story holds significant implications for future welfare schemes and resource management strategies across various government departments.
