It envisages simpler flow of funds and information using ICT thereby achieving efficiency and inclusion in the delivery processes leading to greater accountability and transparency in the system.  Line Ministries, with a view to measure the efficacy of the Schemes, carry out the operational impact assessment; including assessment of de-duplication, right targeting etc. due to implementation of DBT in their respective schemes. By the end of 2016-17, due to better targeting of beneficiaries, 3.5 crore duplicate/fake/inactive consumers have been blocked under DBTL scheme of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Similarly, 2.33 crore ration cards have been deleted by the Department of Food and Public Distribution due to the process of digitization, de-duplication, Aadhaar seeding in the implementation of the National Food Security Act (NFSA).
