The deseeding of Aadhaar from the National Payments Corporation of India has led to a technical glitch in the direct benefit transfer of LPG subsidies.
In response to a question in the Lok Sabha, the Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan, said, “Some complaints have been received regarding non-transfer of subsidy which was mainly due to deseeding of Aadhaar from National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) mapper. The matter was taken up with NPCI. Further, the customer has also been given the option of receiving subsidy through Bank Account Transfer Compliant Mode.”
Pradhan said under the PAHAL scheme, the authorised subsidy to LPG consumers is transferred directly into the bank account of the consumers.
“The subsidy is transferred either through Aadhaar Transfer Compliant (ATC) or Bank Transfer Compliant (BTC) mode on the basis of seeding of Aadhaar number in bank account. As on December 28, 2018, out of 25.17 crore LPG consumers, 23.24 crore consumers have joined the PAHAL Scheme and are getting subsidy in their registered bank accounts.”
