After the LPG, the government is also preparing to implement Direct Benefit Transfer in food security law across the country. That means that the Ration Subsidy will come to the account soon. Whereas beneficiaries of this scheme will have the freedom to buy food grains at their own time, the ban on black marketing of food grains will also help.
A senior official of the Food Ministry said that under the Food Security Act, the pilot project of direct benefit transfer of beneficiaries has yielded good results. In such a case, it will be implemented in other states soon. After the implementation of this scheme, the PDS shop owner will have to buy foodgrains at the market price from the warehouse. This will prevent black marketing.
