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.
