Airtel payments bank included as DBT channel

IMPHAL, Oct 29
The State Finance Department has notified that Airtel payments bank is authorized as an alternative channel for disbursements of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to beneficiaries for proper implementation of DBT in the State.
Considering their outreach in far flung areas, Airtel payments bank has been considered a viable option for the beneficiaries to open their accounts and to receive their benefits especially for remote villages/areas, where proper banking facilities are still lacking, said a release of the department.
All the DBT implementing Departments are requested to include Airtel payments bank as an option for the beneficiaries to open their accounts for availing benefits under DBT, it added.
