-Press Release by NREGA Sangharsh Morcha dated 11 April, 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stagnant wage rates are not the only rude shock that workers of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) received this month. Most of the them also remain unpaid for the work done by them in the past few months. Ninety-nine per cent of the Fund Transfer Orders (FTOs) for MGNREGA wage payments sent to the Public Finance Management (PFMS) in April 2018 remain unprocessed. The bulk of FTOs of the last two months are also yet to be processed&amp;ndash;86 per cent of the FTOs of March and 64 per cent of the FTOs of February (please &lt;a href=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Annexure.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Annexure&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to check).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2016, the central government introduced the National Electronic Fund Management System (NEFMS), allegedly to streamline the process of MGNREGA wage payments. However, this system has only tightened the Ministry&amp;rsquo;s leash over MGNREGA funds. Now it routinely withholds the processing of FTOs. Also, in NEFMS states are no longer able to make payments to workers from their revolving funds to tide over delays in release of funds by the Ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last year, the Ministry froze processing of FTOs worth over Rs 3,000 crores due to lack of MGNREGA funds. It may be recalled that in August 2017, the Ministry of Rural Development demanded a supplementary MGNREGA budget of Rs 17,000 crores, but the Ministry of Finance approved only Rs 7,000, that too in January 2018. As inadequate funds should not be a problem at the beginning of a financial year, the reason for the current non-processing of FTOs is not clear. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation of long and unpredictable delays in MGNREGA wage payments continues despite the ongoing public interest litigation filed by Swaraj Abhiyan in which the Supreme Court has instructed the government to ensure that workers are paid within 15 days of doing work. Moreover, workers are not compensated for the wage delays that take place after the generation of FTOs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a damming document, the Ministry of Finance accepts the partial payment of compensation. It goes on to state that the payment of compensation for the entire duration of delay will be a heavy financial burden on the government. This exposes the deliberate underfunding of the employment guarantee programme. As the Modi government failed to curtail MGNREGA through overt measures such as restricting the programme to the poorest districts or reducing the wage &amp;ndash; material ratio, it has resorted to undermining the Act by starving it of funds.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Stagnant wage rates are not the only rude shock that workers of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) received this month. Most of the them also remain unpaid for the work done by them in the past few months. Ninety-nine per cent of the Fund Transfer Orders (FTOs) for MGNREGA wage payments sent to the Public Finance Management (PFMS) in April 2018 remain unprocessed. The bulk of FTOs of the last two months are also yet to be processed&amp;ndash;86 per cent of the FTOs of March and 64 per cent of the FTOs of February (please &lt;a href=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Annexure.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Annexure&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to check).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

-Press Release by NREGA Sangharsh Morcha dated 11 April, 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stagnant wage rates are not the only rude shock that workers of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) received this month. Most of the them also remain unpaid for the work done by them in the past few months. Ninety-nine per cent of the Fund Transfer Orders (FTOs) for MGNREGA wage payments sent to the Public Finance Management (PFMS) in April 2018 remain unprocessed. The bulk of FTOs of the last two months are also yet to be processed&amp;ndash;86 per cent of the FTOs of March and 64 per cent of the FTOs of February (please &lt;a href=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Annexure.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Annexure&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to check).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2016, the central government introduced the National Electronic Fund Management System (NEFMS), allegedly to streamline the process of MGNREGA wage payments. However, this system has only tightened the Ministry&amp;rsquo;s leash over MGNREGA funds. Now it routinely withholds the processing of FTOs. Also, in NEFMS states are no longer able to make payments to workers from their revolving funds to tide over delays in release of funds by the Ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last year, the Ministry froze processing of FTOs worth over Rs 3,000 crores due to lack of MGNREGA funds. It may be recalled that in August 2017, the Ministry of Rural Development demanded a supplementary MGNREGA budget of Rs 17,000 crores, but the Ministry of Finance approved only Rs 7,000, that too in January 2018. As inadequate funds should not be a problem at the beginning of a financial year, the reason for the current non-processing of FTOs is not clear. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation of long and unpredictable delays in MGNREGA wage payments continues despite the ongoing public interest litigation filed by Swaraj Abhiyan in which the Supreme Court has instructed the government to ensure that workers are paid within 15 days of doing work. Moreover, workers are not compensated for the wage delays that take place after the generation of FTOs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a damming document, the Ministry of Finance accepts the partial payment of compensation. It goes on to state that the payment of compensation for the entire duration of delay will be a heavy financial burden on the government. This exposes the deliberate underfunding of the employment guarantee programme.

-Press Release by NREGA Sangharsh Morcha dated 11 April, 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stagnant wage rates are not the only rude shock that workers of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) received this month. Most of the them also remain unpaid for the work done by them in the past few months. Ninety-nine per cent of the Fund Transfer Orders (FTOs) for MGNREGA wage payments sent to the Public Finance Management (PFMS) in April 2018 remain unprocessed. The bulk of FTOs of the last two months are also yet to be processed&amp;ndash;86 per cent of the FTOs of March and 64 per cent of the FTOs of February (please &lt;a href=&quot;tinymce/uploaded/Annexure.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Annexure&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to check).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2016, the central government introduced the National Electronic Fund Management System (NEFMS), allegedly to streamline the process of MGNREGA wage payments. However, this system has only tightened the Ministry&amp;rsquo;s leash over MGNREGA funds. Now it routinely withholds the processing of FTOs. Also, in NEFMS states are no longer able to make payments to workers from their revolving funds to tide over delays in release of funds by the Ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last year, the Ministry froze processing of FTOs worth over Rs 3,000 crores due to lack of MGNREGA funds. It may be recalled that in August 2017, the Ministry of Rural Development demanded a supplementary MGNREGA budget of Rs 17,000 crores, but the Ministry of Finance approved only Rs 7,000, that too in January 2018. As inadequate funds should not be a problem at the beginning of a financial year, the reason for the current non-processing of FTOs is not clear. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation of long and unpredictable delays in MGNREGA wage payments continues despite the ongoing public interest litigation filed by Swaraj Abhiyan in which the Supreme Court has instructed the government to ensure that workers are paid within 15 days of doing work. Moreover, workers are not compensated for the wage delays that take place after the generation of FTOs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a damming document, the Ministry of Finance accepts the partial payment of compensation. It goes on to state that the payment of compensation for the entire duration of delay will be a heavy financial burden on the government. This exposes the deliberate underfunding of the employment guarantee programme. As the Modi government failed to curtail MGNREGA through overt measures such as restricting the programme to the poorest districts or reducing the wage &amp;ndash; material ratio, it has resorted to undermining the Act by starving it of funds.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

Delay in MGNREGA wage payment caused by non-processing of Fund Transfer Orders, say social activists

-Press Release by NREGA Sangharsh Morcha dated 11 April, 2018 Stagnant wage rates are not the only rude shock that workers of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) received this month. Most of the them also remain unpaid for the work done by them in the past few months. Ninety-nine per cent of the Fund Transfer Orders (FTOs) for MGNREGA wage payments sent to the Public Finance Management (PFMS) in April 2018 remain unprocessed. The bulk of FTOs of the last two months are also yet to be processed–86 per cent of the FTOs of March and 64 per cent of the FTOs of February (please click here to check). In January 2016, the central government introduced the National Electronic Fund Management System (NEFMS), allegedly to streamline the process of MGNREGA wage payments. However, this system has only tightened the Ministry’s leash over MGNREGA funds. Now it routinely withholds the processing of FTOs. Also, in NEFMS states are no longer able to make payments to workers from their revolving funds to tide over delays in release of funds by the Ministry. Last year, the Ministry froze processing of FTOs worth over Rs 3,000 crores due to lack of MGNREGA funds. It may be recalled that in August 2017, the Ministry of Rural Development demanded a supplementary MGNREGA budget of Rs 17,000 crores, but the Ministry of Finance approved only Rs 7,000, that too in January 2018. As inadequate funds should not be a problem at the beginning of a financial year, the reason for the current non-processing of FTOs is not clear.   The situation of long and unpredictable delays in MGNREGA wage payments continues despite the ongoing public interest litigation filed by Swaraj Abhiyan in which the Supreme Court has instructed the government to ensure that workers are paid within 15 days of doing work. Moreover, workers are not compensated for the wage delays that take place after the generation of FTOs. In a damming document, the Ministry of Finance accepts the partial payment of compensation. It goes on to state that the payment of compensation for the entire duration of delay will be a heavy financial burden on the government. This exposes the deliberate underfunding of the employment guarantee programme. As the Modi government failed to curtail MGNREGA through overt measures such as restricting the programme to the poorest districts or reducing the wage – material ratio, it has resorted to undermining the Act by starving it of funds.     For further information, please write at nrega.sangharsh.morcha@gmail.com or contact Abhay Kumar (9845371493), Ankita Aggarwal (9818603009), Anuradha Talwar (9433002064), Arundhati Dhuru (9919664444), Gangaram Paikra (9977462084), Kamayani Swami (9771950248), Mukesh Nirvasat (9468862200), Neeta Hardikar (9825412387), Nirmala Tammineni (9848930031) or Richa Singh (9452232663).
