Mizoram CM Launches Four Digital Initiatives to Improve Financial Management
Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma launched four digital financial management initiatives—Mizoram Integrated Works Accounts System (MIWAS), e-Sanction, e-Budget, and 100% Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT)—to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public finance. These systems will streamline budget proposals, expenditure sanctions, and beneficiary payments across six state departments. Payments under state schemes will be directly transferred to beneficiaries' bank accounts after treasury approval, with tracking enabled through the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS).
