- (a): 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 for the reasons such as fake/duplicate/incorrect job cards, family shifted from Gram Panchayat  permanently, Gram  Panchayat  classified  as  Urban  and there was only one member name in the job card he/she has expired etc. However, while deleting/ removing workers/Job cards, States/UTs  have  to  ensure  compliance  with  provisions  of  the  Act and  the  Standard  Operating  Procedure  issued  by  the  Ministry  to ensure  that  no  job  card  of  deserving  or  eligible  household  is deleted/cancelled. States/UTs-wise number of job cards deleted from  Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS  since  2019-20  to  2024-25  is given at Annexure-I.

Note:  As  per  NREGASoft,  during  the  FY  2019-20  to  2024-25,  total number  of  job  cards  deleted  by  the  States/UTs  was  457.97  Lakh while,  in  the  same  period  total  number  of  job  cards  added  by  the States/UTs was 654.22 Lakh.

- (b): State/Union Territory(UT)-wise  number  of  workers  deleted from job cards under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the period of 10-10-2025 to 14-11-2025 are given in Annexure-II.

Note: As per NREGASoft, during the period of 10-10-2025 to 14-112025, total number of workers added by the States/UTs was 10.84 Lakh.

- (c): State/Union Territory(UT)-wise  number  of  workers  deleted from job cards under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the financial years 2019-20 to 2023-24 are given at Annexure-III.

Note:  As  per  NREGASoft,  during  the  FY  2019-20  to  2023-24,  total number of workers added by the States/UTs was 881.68 Lakh.

Number of workers deleted from job cards in Ambedkar Nagar and Ayodhya district of Uttar Pradesh part of which is part

of AmbedkarNagar LokSabha Constituency during the same period are given below:

| District       |   2019-20 |   2020-21 |   2021-22 |   2022-23 |   2023-24 |
|----------------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Ambedkar Nagar |      4757 |      5384 |      7934 |    150137 |    109539 |
| Ayodhya        |       719 |      1976 |      1684 |     44361 |     62877 |
| Total          |      5476 |      7360 |      9618 |    194498 |    172416 |

(d): To ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation  of  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural Employment Guarantee  Scheme (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS),  the  Ministry  has decided that States/UTs shall ensure capturing of attendance at the worksite through National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) App with two-time stamped, geo-tagged photographs of the workers in  a  day  for  all  the  works  (except  Individual  Beneficiary  Work) through NMMS w.e.f. 1st January, 2023.

Further,  in  order  to  ensure  timely  payment  of  wages  to  the beneficiaries  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment Guarantee  Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS) and  to  address  the issues arising due to frequent changes in bank account numbers of the beneficiaries  and  subsequent  non-updation,  it  was  decided to implement Aadhar Payment Bridge System (APBS). This has been made mandatory with effect from 1 st  January 2024.

Here,  it  is  stated  that  Job  cards  can  not  be  deleted  due  to reason of NMMS and non linking of bank accounts with Aadhar.

(e)& (f): To  streamline  the  process  of  deletion  of  Job  cards, Ministry  of  Rural  Development  has  recently  issued  a  Standard Operating  Procedure  (SOP)  vide  letter  dated  25.01.2025  to  all States/Union  Territories,  with  clear  guidelines  for  deletion  and restoration  of  job  cards.  The  SOP  ensures  compliance  with  the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS guidelines, promotes transparency, protects  the  rights  of  workers  by  defining  conditions  for  deletion, setting  up  a  grievance  redressal  mechanism,  and  ensure  the settlement of pending liabilities if any before deletion/cancellation.

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 reaches the eligible rural households.

Further,  the  Annual  Master  Circular  provides  for  a  dedicated Grievance Redressal Module in NREGASoft, which allows workers/citizens to lodge complaints and track responses, in addition  to  written  complaints,  telephone  helplines  and  entries  in the 'Complaint Register' (one of the seven mandatory registers at GP level).

The  Centralized  Public  Grievance  Redress  and  Monitoring redressal mechanisms available for lodging complaint. It is an online platform where citizens can file complaints related to the implementation of

System (CPGRAMS)  is one of the major grievance MGNREGA and ensure their grievances are addressed efficiently.
