Karnataka's implementation and management of the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system have been poor and 22 departments transferred benefits of ₹2,829.02 crore under 168 schemes outside the core DBT portal, said the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India in its report.
The CAG report on DBT, which was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, noted, “The poor progress resulted in disbursements of benefits outside the DBT portal during 2018–20”.
It noted that the slow progress in onboarding the schemes by the user departments was due to lack of ICT applications and digitisation of the beneficiaries' data.
