Who this is for

Workers whose MGNREGA wages are delayed or cut.

Real life (simple)

  • Your MGNREGA days are marked but wages do not arrive for months.
  • Real-life move: note job card number and muster dates. Ask the block office in writing. Escalate on the state rural portal / CPGRAMS.

What to do (step by step)

  1. Keep your job card and attendance details ready.
  2. Check muster roll / wage status on the NREGA portal.
  3. Give a written complaint to the Gram Rozgar Sahayak and Block office.
  4. Ask for acknowledgement.
  5. Escalate to the district programme officer.
  6. Use state grievance and CPGRAMS if wages stay unpaid.
  7. If a middleman took a cut, write that clearly with dates.

Tips

  • Keep written proof.
  • Ask for acknowledgement numbers.
  • Escalate if there is silence.

Warnings

  • Do not use violence.
  • Do not send private files to Trishola. Stay on official portals.
