## ANSWER

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

(a)  &  (b)      Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) is a demand driven wage employment programme and funds are released to the  States/UTs  on  the  basis  of  "agreed  to"  Labour  Budget  and  performance  of  the  States during the financial year.

Further, the funds release under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is based on the provision of the Act and guidelines. As per guidelines, the first installment of the first tranche will be released in  the  first  half  of  April  after  adjusting  unspent  balance  available  with  the  States  and considering  the  pending  liabilities,  if  any.  The  2nd  Tranche  is  released  on  submission  of proposal in the prescribed format by the State and subject to fulfillment of all the prescribed conditions. The funds for 2nd tranche can only be released after receipt of Audited UC and Audited report of previous financial year

State/UT wise details of pending liabilities for wage component as on 25.11.2021 is given at Annexure-I.

State/UT wise details of pending liabilities for material component as on 25.11.2021 is given at Annexure-II.

- (c)    Under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS,  no  State/UT-wise  (including  State  of  Kerala)  fund allocation is made, as it is a demand driven scheme. In the current financial year (FY) 202122  (as  on  25.11.2021),  an  amount  of  Rs.  2055.91  crore  has  been  released  to  the  State  of Kerala.
