&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre and states may vie to take credit for the MNREGS, but when it comes to footing the Bill for the job guarantee scheme, the story is different.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asking the Centre to notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; is, interestingly, a Congress-ruled state&amp;mdash;Rajasthan. It also happens to be the home state of minister for rural development C P Joshi.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Rajasthan principal secretary CS Rajan last week sent a letter to the secretary, rural development, underlining that as per the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), the Centre must bear the cost of wages, which must be the minimum wages applicable in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;So, Rajasthan argued, the Centre must notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; so that MNREGA workers could be paid at least the minimum wages paid to other workers in the state. The reason for the letter was the recent upward revision of the minimum wage in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre may not be in a hurry to oblige, going by a letter it sent to Andhra Pradesh in September 2009. The letter had stated that it was the state&amp;rsquo;s responsibility to pay salaries to workers over and above the Rs 100 wage fixed for MNREGA workers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Fixing this rate has been a point of contention between those who argue that the MNREGA cannot overrule the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and those who say that the Centre is well within its rights to do so, as it is only a baseline of Rs 100 that the Centre can pay. All variations from then on must be met by the state in question, the latter argue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Says Nikhil Dey of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan: &amp;ldquo;There is an interim order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court of July 2009, that has set aside the Centre&amp;rsquo;s notification freezing the level of wages at Rs 100, and restoring the primacy of the minimum wage of the state. The legal opinion given on this matter by Indira Jaisingh too clearly says that the Minimum Wages Act cannot be overridden by any legislation, including the MNREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Central Employment Guarantee Council&amp;rsquo;s Committee on Wages, headed by activist Jean Dreze, in a report in July this year, termed the status of wage-payments being made to MNREGA workers having reached a &amp;lsquo;crisis&amp;rsquo; point and needing immediate redressal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a set of 32 recommendations, the committee made a strong plea for pegging the wages given to MNREGA workers to the cost of living.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asking the Centre to notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; is, interestingly, a Congress-ruled state&amp;mdash;Rajasthan. It also happens to be the home state of minister for rural development C P Joshi.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Rajasthan principal secretary CS Rajan last week sent a letter to the secretary, rural development, underlining that as per the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), the Centre must bear the cost of wages, which must be the minimum wages applicable in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;So, Rajasthan argued, the Centre must notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; so that MNREGA workers could be paid at least the minimum wages paid to other workers in the state. The reason for the letter was the recent upward revision of the minimum wage in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre may not be in a hurry to oblige, going by a letter it sent to Andhra Pradesh in September 2009. The letter had stated that it was the state&amp;rsquo;s responsibility to pay salaries to workers over and above the Rs 100 wage fixed for MNREGA workers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Fixing this rate has been a point of contention between those who argue that the MNREGA cannot overrule the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and those who say that the Centre is well within its rights to do so, as it is only a baseline of Rs 100 that the Centre can pay. All variations from then on must be met by the state in question, the latter argue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Says Nikhil Dey of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan: &amp;ldquo;There is an interim order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court of July 2009, that has set aside the Centre&amp;rsquo;s notification freezing the level of wages at Rs 100, and restoring the primacy of the minimum wage of the state.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Central Employment Guarantee Council&amp;rsquo;s Committee on Wages, headed by activist Jean Dreze, in a report in July this year, termed the status of wage-payments being made to MNREGA workers having reached a &amp;lsquo;crisis&amp;rsquo; point and needing immediate redressal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a set of 32 recommendations, the committee made a strong plea for pegging the wages given to MNREGA workers to the cost of living.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asking the Centre to notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; is, interestingly, a Congress-ruled state&amp;mdash;Rajasthan. It also happens to be the home state of minister for rural development C P Joshi.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Rajasthan principal secretary CS Rajan last week sent a letter to the secretary, rural development, underlining that as per the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), the Centre must bear the cost of wages, which must be the minimum wages applicable in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;So, Rajasthan argued, the Centre must notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; so that MNREGA workers could be paid at least the minimum wages paid to other workers in the state. The reason for the letter was the recent upward revision of the minimum wage in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre may not be in a hurry to oblige, going by a letter it sent to Andhra Pradesh in September 2009. The letter had stated that it was the state&amp;rsquo;s responsibility to pay salaries to workers over and above the Rs 100 wage fixed for MNREGA workers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Fixing this rate has been a point of contention between those who argue that the MNREGA cannot overrule the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and those who say that the Centre is well within its rights to do so, as it is only a baseline of Rs 100 that the Centre can pay. All variations from then on must be met by the state in question, the latter argue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Says Nikhil Dey of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan: &amp;ldquo;There is an interim order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court of July 2009, that has set aside the Centre&amp;rsquo;s notification freezing the level of wages at Rs 100, and restoring the primacy of the minimum wage of the state. The legal opinion given on this matter by Indira Jaisingh too clearly says that the Minimum Wages Act cannot be overridden by any legislation, including the MNREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Central Employment Guarantee Council&amp;rsquo;s Committee on Wages, headed by activist Jean Dreze, in a report in July this year, termed the status of wage-payments being made to MNREGA workers having reached a &amp;lsquo;crisis&amp;rsquo; point and needing immediate redressal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a set of 32 recommendations, the committee made a strong plea for pegging the wages given to MNREGA workers to the cost of living.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Asking the Centre to notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; is, interestingly, a Congress-ruled state&amp;mdash;Rajasthan. It also happens to be the home state of minister for rural development C P Joshi.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Rajasthan principal secretary CS Rajan last week sent a letter to the secretary, rural development, underlining that as per the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), the Centre must bear the cost of wages, which must be the minimum wages applicable in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;So, Rajasthan argued, the Centre must notify new, revised wage rates &amp;ldquo;at the earliest&amp;rdquo; so that MNREGA workers could be paid at least the minimum wages paid to other workers in the state. The reason for the letter was the recent upward revision of the minimum wage in the state.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Centre may not be in a hurry to oblige, going by a letter it sent to Andhra Pradesh in September 2009. The letter had stated that it was the state&amp;rsquo;s responsibility to pay salaries to workers over and above the Rs 100 wage fixed for MNREGA workers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Fixing this rate has been a point of contention between those who argue that the MNREGA cannot overrule the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and those who say that the Centre is well within its rights to do so, as it is only a baseline of Rs 100 that the Centre can pay. All variations from then on must be met by the state in question, the latter argue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Says Nikhil Dey of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan: &amp;ldquo;There is an interim order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court of July 2009, that has set aside the Centre&amp;rsquo;s notification freezing the level of wages at Rs 100, and restoring the primacy of the minimum wage of the state. The legal opinion given on this matter by Indira Jaisingh too clearly says that the Minimum Wages Act cannot be overridden by any legislation, including the MNREGA.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The Central Employment Guarantee Council&amp;rsquo;s Committee on Wages, headed by activist Jean Dreze, in a report in July this year, termed the status of wage-payments being made to MNREGA workers having reached a &amp;lsquo;crisis&amp;rsquo; point and needing immediate redressal.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;In a set of 32 recommendations, the committee made a strong plea for pegging the wages given to MNREGA workers to the cost of living.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Centre and states labour over NREGA wage fineprint by Seema Chishti

The Centre and states may vie to take credit for the MNREGS, but when it comes to footing the Bill for the job guarantee scheme, the story is different. Asking the Centre to notify new, revised wage rates “at the earliest” is, interestingly, a Congress-ruled state—Rajasthan. It also happens to be the home state of minister for rural development C P Joshi. Rajasthan principal secretary CS Rajan last week sent a letter to the secretary, rural development, underlining that as per the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), the Centre must bear the cost of wages, which must be the minimum wages applicable in the state. So, Rajasthan argued, the Centre must notify new, revised wage rates “at the earliest” so that MNREGA workers could be paid at least the minimum wages paid to other workers in the state. The reason for the letter was the recent upward revision of the minimum wage in the state. The Centre may not be in a hurry to oblige, going by a letter it sent to Andhra Pradesh in September 2009. The letter had stated that it was the state’s responsibility to pay salaries to workers over and above the Rs 100 wage fixed for MNREGA workers. Fixing this rate has been a point of contention between those who argue that the MNREGA cannot overrule the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and those who say that the Centre is well within its rights to do so, as it is only a baseline of Rs 100 that the Centre can pay. All variations from then on must be met by the state in question, the latter argue. Says Nikhil Dey of the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan: “There is an interim order of the Andhra Pradesh High Court of July 2009, that has set aside the Centre’s notification freezing the level of wages at Rs 100, and restoring the primacy of the minimum wage of the state. The legal opinion given on this matter by Indira Jaisingh too clearly says that the Minimum Wages Act cannot be overridden by any legislation, including the MNREGA.” The Central Employment Guarantee Council’s Committee on Wages, headed by activist Jean Dreze, in a report in July this year, termed the status of wage-payments being made to MNREGA workers having reached a ‘crisis’ point and needing immediate redressal. In a set of 32 recommendations, the committee made a strong plea for pegging the wages given to MNREGA workers to the cost of living.
