Even as the modified Direct Benefit transfer of LPG (DBTL) scheme is set to be launched pan-India by January 1, 2015, the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) Ltd. has set a target of 90 per cent cash transfer compliance (CTC) among its consumers by mid January.
Earlier, the DBTL scheme was launched on June 1, 2013 but required consumers to mandatorily have an Aadhaar number for availing LPG Subsidy. Post review, the government later modified the scheme allowing consumers who do not have an Aadhaar number to still be cash transfer compliant by registering their bank accounts.
