&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The central government has withheld release of Rs 7,500 crore in MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) funds to West Bengal for a year now over &amp;ldquo;non-compliance of central government directives&amp;rdquo;, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/document/d/162NjhXcA0B9FHJU0l2DvCAqtQeVt7Cs63vtrd5Ovbf4/edit&quot;&gt;report released&lt;/a&gt; on December 26, 2022 claimed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A whopping Rs 2,744 crore of the Rs 7,500 crore are due in MGNREGA wages to workers, who have not been paid since December 26, 2021, the report by research non-profit Libtech India stated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The central government has done this by invoking Section 27 of the 2005 Act, which allowed the government to &amp;ldquo;order stoppage of release of funds to the scheme&amp;rdquo; in some circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;But this provision cannot be read as a license to stop wage payments to workers who have already worked. These workers have an unconditional right to be paid within 15 days,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The central government has withheld release of Rs 7,500 crore in MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) funds to West Bengal for a year now over &amp;ldquo;non-compliance of central government directives&amp;rdquo;, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/document/d/162NjhXcA0B9FHJU0l2DvCAqtQeVt7Cs63vtrd5Ovbf4/edit&quot;&gt;report released&lt;/a&gt; on December 26, 2022 claimed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A whopping Rs 2,744 crore of the Rs 7,500 crore are due in MGNREGA wages to workers, who have not been paid since December 26, 2021, the report by research non-profit Libtech India stated.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The central government has done this by invoking Section 27 of the 2005 Act, which allowed the government to &amp;ldquo;order stoppage of release of funds to the scheme&amp;rdquo; in some circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;But this provision cannot be read as a license to stop wage payments to workers who have already worked. These workers have an unconditional right to be paid within 15 days,&amp;rdquo; the report said.&lt;/p&gt;
