<h1>Task Force Recommends Phased Direct Subsidy Transfers for LPG, Fertilizers, Kerosene; Highlights Financial Inclusion and Aadhaar Use.</h1> The Task Force on Direct Transfer of Subsidies submitted an interim report to the Finance Minister, recommending a phased implementation of direct subsidy transfers for LPG, fertilizers, and kerosene. The report suggests a Core Subsidy Management Platform (CSMS) to enhance transparency and efficiency. For LPG, it proposes a cap on subsidized cylinders, direct bank transfers, and customer segmentation. Fertilizer subsidies should progress from supply chain transparency to direct farmer transfers. Kerosene subsidy transfers depend on state-level PDS reforms. The report emphasizes financial inclusion and the use of Aadhaar for subsidy distribution, with pilot programs planned to refine the approach.
