CLEARANCE OF DUES OWED TO STATES UNDER MGNREGS

Posted On: 07 FEB 2025 4:27PM by PIB Delhi

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (Mahatma Gandhi NREGS) is a demand-driven wage employment scheme. Funds are released to the States/Union Territories (UTs) based on agreed to labour budget. Fund release to the States/UTs is a continuous process and Central Government is committed to making funds available to States/UTs for the implementation of the scheme as per the demand for the work on the ground. While Wage payments are directly credited by Central Government to the account of beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer protocol, the Material and Admin fund is released to States/ UTs based on the provision of the Act and guidelines.

In the beginning of every financial year, due and admissible pending liabilities if any of the previous financial year are reimbursed by the Government of India to the concerned States/UTs.

State/UT-wise details of pending liabilities for Wage, Material and Admin component under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS as on 30.01.2025 are given at Annexure.
