Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) refers to the mechanism through which cash is directly transferred into the beneficiaries’ bank account. Whereas, Universal Basic Income (UBI) refers to the mechanism through which the government ensures that every individual in the country must have a basic income in order to meet their sustenance need. In both cases, money is transferred to the beneficiary. The difference in these two is in the fact that in case of DBT, the benefits may or may not be given to the poorest of the poor whereas in case of UBI the benefits are specifically given to the poorest of the poor in order to make them fulfil their basic needs. The partial success of the DBT has paved the way for the implementation of UBI.
