DBT stands for Direct Benefit Transfer.
Under this system, government benefits are sent directly to the beneficiary’s bank account instead of through middlemen.

👉 Your bank account must usually be linked properly with Aadhaar and NPCI mapping. Without proper linking, payments may fail or remain pending
