Mizoram CM Lalduhoma launches 4 digital finance initiatives

Aizawl: Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma launched four major digital financial management initiatives, including, the Mizoram Integrated Works Accounts System (MIWAS), e-Sanction, e-Budget and 100% Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), at the Chief Minister’s Office in Aizawl.

Implemented under the Finance Department, the initiatives aim to strengthen transparency, accountability and efficiency in public financial management.

MIWAS will streamline works accounts across six departments: the Public Works Department (PWD), Public Health Engineering Department (PHE), Power & Electricity Department (P&E), Irrigation & Water Resources Department (IWRD), Environment, Forest & Climate Change Department (EFCC), and Land Resources, Soil & Water Conservation Department (LRS&WC). It will improve the reconciliation of expenditure figures submitted to the Accountant General and ensure the proper submission of expenditure vouchers through the Treasury.


The e-Budget module will enable the online preparation and submission of budget proposals through the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), reducing manual work, calculation errors and processing delays.

The e-Sanction module will facilitate the online processing of expenditure sanctions. Proposals will be forwarded electronically from Drawing and Disbursing Officers and Heads of Departments to the concerned administrative departments and the Finance Department. The system will also help prevent expenditure beyond available budget allocations.

Under the 100% DBT initiative, payments under state schemes, including Thlai Thar Leina, Bana Kaih and Power Subsidy, will be transferred directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts after the Treasury passes the bills. Payment status will also be trackable through IFMIS.

Addressing the gathering, Lalduhoma highlighted the importance of digital financial management in ensuring transparency and the efficient utilisation of public funds. He said Mizoram received Rs 350 crore under SASCI Part IX in the previous year and was preparing to secure approximately Rs 650 crore under SASCI Part IV and Part IX during 2026–27.

The chief minister also acknowledged the contributions of the Finance Department, ICT Department, Interlace India Pvt. Ltd. and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to strengthening the state’s digital financial infrastructure.

The initiatives mark another step towards modernising financial administration and improving public service delivery in Mizoram.
