MGNREGS Payments at Post Offices through Electronic
Fund Management System(eFMS)
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 account 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.
