I t should be the endeavour of every Governmental department in charge of arranging execution of various developmental works to ensure that foolproof transparency was there in the entire mechanism of such works. The expenditures incurred, being from the public exchequer, must be spent judiciously with fuller realisation of the requisite utility. In other words, any scope for wastages, delays, irregular and suspect spending must be not only stopped but pre-empted with such a monitoring and vigilance system that the entire process gets smoothened. Central Vigilance Commission guidelines hitherto had been considered to be as theoretical and optional but thanks to the recent instructions by the UT Government to have that vital angle along with General Finance Rules strictly complied with, the same were going to bring about perceptible better changes. The benefits of the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) hardly need to be elaborated as the system totally cuts at the roots of possibilities of indulging into irregularities and suspect manipulations which not only affected the interests of the beneficiaries but brought bad name on the system , now that mode of payments to the beneficiaries have been specified to be under DBT under Public Financial Management System only and nothing to be done in respect of entertaining any payments by a Treasury Officer unless specified , would bring about much needed “Swatch Abhiyan” or cleansing process in the system . More of “less cashtransactions and no less of more on-line or e-payments and receipts” would surely but gradually change the ”scenario”. However, a word of caution is that success depends upon the level of monitoring and strict enforcement.
