Dear Comrades,
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.
