## ANSWER

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

(a):        Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) is a demand driven wage employment Scheme. There is no State/UT wise allocation of funds under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS. Funds are not released to districts directly under the Scheme.

State/UT  wise  release  of  funds  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  during  last  three financial years and current financial year 2022-23 (as on 15.03.2023) is given at Annexure-I.

(b) to (d):     As per the information shared by the State Government of Rajasthan, districtwise  pending  liabilities  of  skilled  &  semi-skilled  workers'  wages  under  Mahatma  Gandhi NREGS as on 18.03.2023 is given at Annexure-II.

The wage payment of skilled & semi-skilled workers is a continuous process. Some reasons for  pending  liability  for  skilled  and  semi-skilled  workers  are  (i)  bank  account  number  not verified  by  Public  Financial  Management  System  (PFMS),  rejection  of  payment  due  to closure of accounts etc.

The steps being taken to ensure timely payment wages to skilled and semi-skilled workers are: (i)    verification of bank accounts on PFMS and (ii) for rejected payment cases, camps are organized at gram panchayat level and new accounts are opened and payment is being processed.
