About Rs 32 lakh has been disbursed under the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme through the Aadhaar Payment Bridge, the Planning Commission said.
So far, over 40 crore Aadhaar enrolments have been done, and the Plan panel was hopeful of achieving the target of 60 crore by 2014.
Among the States, the largest number of Aadhaar enrolments has been done in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra at 65,942, 390 and 62, 697,642, respectively, the Plan panel said in a release.
The Government had allocated Rs 250 crore for various welfare programmes under the DBT scheme launched about seven months ago covering distribution of LPG subsidy, pensions, scholarships, Dhanalaxmi and Janani Suraksha Yojana.
Till June 30, 2013, a total of about Rs 35.53 crore was disbursed under the scheme, and in July 2013 alone, about Rs 14.76 crore was disbursed.
“The DBT is now being implemented in 28 schemes across 121 districts and soon a review meeting will be done to take stock of its progress and to expand it to other schemes and the remaining districts of the country,” the Plan panel said.
