Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has claimed that Direct Benefit/Cash Transfer (cash transfer) system will eliminate leakages, delays, duplication and falsification.
Replying to a short notice question by Prakash Javadekar (BJP) in Rajya Sabha, Chidambaram said, “It will lead to seamless transition. We believe that the new system, which we will introduce, will be more transparent. The Government firmly believes this will introduce a very high degree of efficiency and transparency.”
He also denied that the scheme was devised in a hurry. It will not be implemented in a hurry. “Our watchword for the scheme is we will not hasten, will implement it slowly, step by step,” he said.
