Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said the Union government has saved Rs 2,00,000 crore by using technology as systems like Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) stopped leakages.
She was speaking at a lecture series on `Economic Potential of Bharat in Global Scenario of the 21st Century' organised here by the Dattopant Thengadi Research Institute.
“Due to the use of technology, we have saved Rs 2,00,000 crore. The money under DBT is reaching directly into an Aadhar-verified account with no possibility of fraud,” she said.
