Anna Bhagya Scheme: August money start transfer to account

Under the Anna Bhagya Scheme, the state government had announced an additional five kg of rice. But it was not possible due to lack of rice. Instead of this, they started giving money in exchange for an additional five kg of rice.

Now after July payment, additional five kg rice payment of Anna Bhagya Scheme for August month has started to be deposited in the beneficiary’s account. Commissioner of Food and Civil Supplies Department, Kanagavalli has informed about this and said that the process of transferring the money for the month of August, which was to be given in exchange of extra rice under Anna Bhagya Scheme, to the beneficiary’s account through direct cash transfer (DBT), has been started by the food department.

The direct cash transfer for this month was supposed to start from August 10 itself. But it was not possible due to some technical problem in the DBT system. He said that after 13 days, the DBT process was started and on Tuesday itself, many beneficiaries of Bidar district were paid the money that was due in lieu of 5 kg of extra rice.

Commissioner of Food and Civil Supplies Department Kanagavalli said that the cash will be deposited in the account of Anna Bhagya Scheme beneficiaries of other districts of the state in the next one week. But according to the government 22 million BPL households may not benefit from the Anna Bhagya scheme immediately as their bank accounts are not linked to their Aadhaar numbers.
