Benefits Processing in Nikshay
Learning ObjectivesProcess video
Ni-kshay automatically generates benefits as per the scheme guidelines. All benefits are linked to the patient's episode irrespective of the beneficiary. These benefits need to undergo two levels of approvals in Ni-kshay before being sent to Public Financial Management System (PFMS) for payment to the beneficiary. Action can be taken only for benefits for which the corresponding beneficiary has been registered (validated) with PFMS.
Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) maker and DBT checker are responsible for the 2-level benefit approval in Ni-kshay. First Tuberculosis Unit (TU) user (DBT maker) has to approve the benefits, which then will be displayed under the ‘Pending’ section of the DBT module from the District Tuberculosis Officer's (DTO’s) login (DBT checker).
The benefit transaction remains in the ‘Processing’ tab of the maker till it is under process with DTO (for approval) or PFMS (for payment). Only the status of the transaction changes. The status of the transaction will either be “waiting for has not yet approved it when it is under the DBT Checker or will be “Sent to PFMS for Payment" when DBT Checker has approved and the benefit is pending PFMS for payment.
