## GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

## LOK  SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3067

ANSWERED ON 22/03/2022

## CRITERIA TO FIX WAGES UNDER MGNREGS

## 3067.   SHRI P RAVINDHRANATH:

Will the Minister of RURAL DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state:

- (a) whether  the  Government  has  observed  that  wages  being  provided  under  Mahatma Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGS)  is  different between States;

- (d) if so, the details thereof;
- (e) whether the Union Government has also instructed the State Governments to ensure the uniform wages to the workers; and
- (f) if so, the details thereof and the steps taken by the Government to ensure the uniform wages?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) to (d)  As per Section 6 (1) of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (Mahatma Gandhi NREGA), 2005, the Central Government may by notification specify the  wage  rate  for  unskilled  work  for  its  beneficiaries.  Accordingly,  the  Ministry  of  Rural Development  notifies  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA  wage  rate  for  every  financial  year  for States/UTs.  To  compensate  the  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGA  workers  against  inflation,  the Ministry  of  Rural  Development  revises  the  wage  rate  every  year  based  on  change  in Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labour (CPI-AL). The index is different for different States/UTs as notified by Labour Bureau, Shimla. If the calculated wage rate of any State/UT is  coming  lower  than  the  wage  rate  of  previous  financial  year,  it  is  being  protected  by maintaining the previous financial year wage rate. The wage rate is made applicable from 1st April of each financial year. However State Governments can provide wage over and above the wage rate notified by the Central Government under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA.

(e) & (f)  As per the provision of the Act, the State Government shall link the wages, without any gender bias, with the quantity of work done and it shall be paid according to the rural schedule of rates fixed after time and motion studies for different types of works and different seasons and revised periodically.

A separate Schedule of rates shall be finalized for women, the elderly, people with disabilities and  people  with  debilitating  ailments  so  to  improve  their  participation  through  productive work.

- i. The schedule of rates wages for various unskilled labourers shall be fixed up so that an adult person worked for eight hours which include an hour of rest will earn a wage which is equal to the stipulated wage rate;
- ii. The working hours of an adult worker shall be flexible but shall not spread over more than twelve house on any day.
