There is no provision to capture agricultural and non - agricultural seasons.

As of now, the e -FMS has been implemented in 92% of the Gram Panchayats and mor e than 95% of the wage payments are done using e - FMS.

Only 5% of GPs are enabled for cash mode and in these locations, the MGNREGA workers may be paid the wages in cash because of issues relating to internet connectivity. Details of GPs payment of wages to MGNREGA workers in the following five States during 2016 - 17 are given as under: -
