DBT Saves Rs 4.31 Lakh Crore by Plugging Leakages

The government uses a system called Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to send money directly to people for things like food and jobs.

This prevents money from being misused.

Since 2015, DBT has saved the government about Rs 4.31 lakh crore by removing fake beneficiaries from various programs.

Last year alone, the program saved over Rs 82,000 crore.

This helps the government spend money wisely and support more people.
