The Haryana government has decided to streamline the disbursement of
subsidies, pensions, and other financial assistance under various
welfare schemes by ensuring that these payments are credited directly
into beneficiaries’ bank accounts on the 10th of every month through
the Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) system.
According to an official communication issued by Chief Secretary
Anurag Rastogi, all Administrative Secretaries, Heads of Departments,
Managing Directors and Chief Administrators of Boards and
Corporations, as well as Divisional Commissioners and Deputy
Commissioners, have been directed to ensure strict compliance with the
new instructions.
The order states that all subsidies, pensions, and financial
assistance provided under various government schemes including those
administered by boards and corporations, will now be credited directly
into the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries on a fixed date every
month. The move aims to ensure the timely and transparent delivery of
welfare benefits.
To facilitate the process, the government has also decided that a
formal function will be organized on the 10th of every month at
Haryana Niwas, Chandigarh, where the release of funds will be carried
out by the competent authority through a single command or the press
of a button.
Departments concerned have been instructed to ensure the timely
submission of the required data and completion of necessary
formalities so that the transfer of funds can take place without
delay.
The government has also asked all implementing agencies and officials
to bring these instructions to the notice of concerned officers for
strict compliance.
The decision is expected to improve transparency, reduce delays in
payments and ensure that welfare benefits reach beneficiaries
regularly and efficiently.
