MGNREGA PAYMENT THROUGH POST OFFICES
|
|
State
Governments have entrusted post offices to disburse wages to workers under
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Such
disbursal of wages is done either through worker’s wage accounts or Post
Office Savings Bank (POSB) accounts. On receipt of the wage list and funds
from the State Government, the post offices credit the amount to the worker’s
accounts. Workers withdraw the amount from the accounts at their
convenience.
Department of Posts has rolled out Electronic Fund Management System
(eFMS) in 46 pilot districts of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) through post
offices enabling electronic credit of wages in worker’s accounts for speedy
disbursal of wages to workers.
This information was given by Dr. (Smt.) Killi Kruparani, Minister of State for C&IT in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
