## ANSWER (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

(a):   Mahatma  Gandhi  NREG  Scheme  provides  for  enhancement  of livelihood  security  of  households  in  rural  areas  of  the  country  by providing  at  least  100  days  of  guaranteed  wage  employment  in every financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled labour. It is demand driven scheme which provide a fall-back option when no better employment opportunity is available.  As  per  the  mandate  of  the  Act,  the  beneficiaries  are entitled  to  get  wage  payment  within  15  days  from  the  closure  of Muster Roll of the work. In the current financial year, FY 2024-25 (as on 07-02-2025), 98.34% Fund Transfer Orders are generated within 15 days from the closure of Muster Rolls. The total number of active workers   in  the  country  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  is  13.44 crore.

(b) to (d):    State/Union Territory(UT)-wise number of active workers whose  Job  cards  were  deleted  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS during the financial years 2019-20 to 2024-25 (as on 04.02.2025) are given at Annexure-I.

Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  is  a  demand-driven  wage  employment scheme and the responsibility of implementation of the scheme is vested with the Government of concerned States/UTs. Updation/deletion of Job Cards is a regular exercise conducted by the States/UTs. Job cards have been deleted mainly due to reasons such  as  fake/duplicate/incorrect  job  cards,  migration  of  workers from  Gram  Panchayat  permanently  and  classification  of  Gram Panchayat from Rural to Urban etc.

- (e): Ministry of Rural Development  has  issued a Standard Operating  Procedure  (SOP)  vide  letter  dated  25.01.2025  to  all States/UTs, with clear guidelines regarding deletion and restoration of job cards. The SOP ensures compliance with the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS guidelines, promotes transparency and protects the rights of workers by defining conditions for deletion.
- The  SOP  emphasizes  the  importance  of  due  process,  including the  publication  of  draft  lists  of  job  cards  marked  for  deletion, verification  at  Gram  Sabhas,  and  the  right  of  appeal  for  affected workers. It also mandates the linking of job cards with Aadhaar to eliminate  duplicate  and  fraudulent  entries.  These  measures  are aimed at preventing misuse of job cards while ensuring that genuine beneficiaries are not excluded.  The  Ministry is  committed  to maintaining  the  integrity  of  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  and  ensuring that the benefits of the scheme reach to eligible rural households.
- (f):      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 its beneficiaries. Further, section 6 (2) of the Act, provides that until such  time   a  wage  rate  is  fixed  by  the  Central  Government  in respect of any area in a State, the minimum wage fixed by the State Government under section  3  of  the  Minimum  wages  Act,  1948  for Agricultural Labourers shall be considered as the wage rate applicable to that area. Accordingly  as per provision of Section 6(2) of the Act, from the inception of the scheme till the financial year 2010-11, the wage rate in Mahatma Gandhi NREGA was determined

on  the  basis  of  the  minimum  wage  set  by  the  State  Government. However, from the financial year 2011-12, the Government of India started determining the wage rates using the Consumer Price Index for agricultural labour (CPI-AL).

To compensate the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA workers against inflation,  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  revises  the  wage  rate every financial 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 year, it is being protected by maintaining the previous year wage rate. The wage rate is made applicable from 1st April of each financial year.  The overall % increase in wage rate for FY 2024-25 from the FY 2023-24 is about 7 %.

However, each State/UT can provide wage over and above the wage rate notified by the Central Government.

(g):     As on date, a total of 13.36 croreAadhaar have been seeded in NREGASoft which is 99.47% of total Active workers (13.44 crore). Further,  a  total  of  12.96  crore  active  workers  (96.45%)  have  been linked  to  Aadhaar  Payment  Bridge   System (APBS).  State/Union Territory  (UT)-wise  number  of  Job  card  issued  under  Mahatma Gandhi NREGS from 01.01.2024 to 06.02.2025 is given at AnnexureII.
