पेट्रोल ियम एवं प्राक ृ तिक गैस मंत्रािय में राज्य मंत्री ( स्विंत्र प्रभार ) ( श्री धमेन्द्र प्रधान ) MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a)  &  (b)  It  has  been  decided  to  implement  Direct  Benefit  Transfer  in  Kerosene (DBTK)  from  1.4.2016  in  39  districts  across  the  country.  But  on  the  request  of participating  State  Govts.  due  to  the  ongoing  steps  for  preparedness  in  launching DBTK,  the  Scheme  has  not  started  as  yet.  Other  States/UTs  have  also  been requested to join the Scheme and those State Governments/UTs may also propose

inclusion of more number of Districts in the coming months. It has also been decided that the States would be given cash incentive of 75% of subsidy savings during the first two years, 50% in the third year and 25% in the fourth year. In case the States voluntarily agree to undertake cuts in kerosene allocation, beyond the savings due to DBT,  a  similar  incentive  would  be  given  to  those  States/UTs.  Preparation  to implement DBTK by the participating States is reviewed regularly. State Government of Karnataka had volunteered to undertake cut in Kerosene allocation.

(c) State/UT-wise details of reported cases of irregularities viz. blackmarketing/diversion,  smuggling  etc.  of  Kerosene  under  Public  distribution  System during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year  (April-June,  2016)  are  given  in AnnexureI. State/UT-wise details of the SKO dealership suspended/terminated on account  of    irregularities  like  Black  Marketing,  Diversion,  Smuggling  etc.  of  PDS Kerosene  during  last  three  years  and  current  year  (April-June,  2016)  are  at Annexure-II .

(d) to (f) State-wise details of the PDS Kerosene allocated/consumed and lapsed by various States/UTs during the last three years are given in Annexure-III .

Ministry  of  Petroleum  and  Natural  Gas  has  been  receiving  requests  for restoration  of  quota  lapsed  on  account  of  non-availability  of  transportation  and various  other  reasons.  These  requests  are  considered  on  case  to  case  basis  and restoration is allowed on merit of the case.
