Posted On:
18 MAR 2025 2:56PM by PIB Delhi
Under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS, the Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (APBS) is merely a mode of payment, and the demand for work cannot be denied due to non-linking of account number with APBS. The Ministry continues to monitor its implementation and takes necessary measures to address any challenges faced by workers in receiving their entitlements, ensuring that no eligible beneficiary is deprived of their rightful wages. As and when any issue is flagged by the State/UT or any other stakeholders, same is resolved on priority basis.
Mahatma Gandhi NREGS is a demand-driven wage employment Scheme. The rural households can register themselves under Scheme and seek employment at multiple fora including the Gram Panchayats. The field authorities have been instructed to organize Rojgar Diwas at least once every month for covering willing unskilled workers.
