With reference to the National Transit Pass System (NTPS), consider the following statements:
The NTPS will facilitate the seamless transit of timber, bamboo, and other forest produce across the country.
The transit permits generated under NTPS will allow check gates across various states to verify the validity of the permits and allow seamless transit.
Transit permits will be issued for tree species which are regulated, while the users can self-generate No Objection Certificates for exempted species.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Ans: C
Exp:
Statement 1 is correct: The National Transit Pass System (NTPS) facilitates the seamless transit of timber, bamboo, and other forest produce across the country. The NTPS is envisioned as a “One Nation-One Pass” regime, which will enable seamless transit across the country. This initiative will streamline the issuance of timber transit permits by providing a unified, online mode for tree growers and farmers involved in agroforestry across the country, contributing to the ease of doing business.
Statement 2 is correct: The QR coded transit permits generated under NTPS will allow check gates across various states to verify the validity of the permits and allow seamless transit.
In order to create awareness and showcase the applicability and ease of using NTPS, special Pan Indian vehicles carrying forest produce were flagged-off by Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Shri Bhupender Yadav.
Statement 3 is correct:Transit permits will be issued for tree species which are regulated, while the users can self-generate No Objection Certificates for exempted species. Presently, 25 States and Union Territories have embraced the unified permit system, streamlining interstate business operations for producers, farmers, and transporters. This move is expected to provide a significant impetus to the agroforestry sector.

In the context of the mandatory Aadhar based payment system (ABPS) for MGNREGA workers, consider the following statements:
The ABPS uses the worker’s unique 12-digit Aadhaar number as their financial address.
It will help in plugging leaks, ensuring speedy payments, and reducing rejection.
Which of the statements given above are incorrect?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
From the New Year, all wages under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme must be paid through an Aadhaar-based payment system (ABPS), which requires workers’ Aadhaar details to be seeded to their job cards.
Statement 1 is correct: The Aadhar-based payment system (ABPS) uses the worker’s unique 12-digit Aadhaar number as their financial address. To be paid under ABPS, a worker’s Aadhaar details must be seeded to her job card; her Aadhaar details must be seeded to her bank account; her Aadhaar must be mapped with the National Payments Corporation of India (NCPI) database; and finally, the bank’s institutional identification number must itself be mapped with the NPCI database.
Statement 2 is correct: The government contends that ABPS implementation will plug leaks, ensure speedy payments, and reduce rejection. The Aadhaar-based payment system is nothing more than a means of depositing funds into beneficiaries’ accounts. This system follows well-defined processes, and beneficiaries, field staff, and all other stakeholders all have distinct roles.
