Getting a job card under the new scheme is a simple process. Any rural household that does not have a MGNREGA job card can apply for registration by submitting the names, ages and address details of the family through any adult member to the concerned gram panchayat. After verification, the gram panchayat prepares the list and a Gramin Rozgar Guarantee Card is issued to the eligible household. The card contains the details and photo of the registered adult members.

A registered person can demand work by applying in writing using Form 6, or orally, or through the digital platform. The application is submitted to the gram panchayat or the programme officer. Employment must be provided within 15 days from the date of application.

There is no discrimination between men and women under the Act, and equal wages are paid to both. Only adult members of a rural household who are willing to do unskilled manual work can apply for the job card.

What is the Viksit Bharat - G RAM G Act, 2025?

The Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin): VB-G RAM G Act, 2025 is a rural employment law that replaced the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 from 1 July 2026. The Act guarantees 125 days of wage employment in a financial year to every eligible rural household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual work. This is 25 days more than the earlier guarantee of 100 days under MGNREGA.

The new Act also provides a 60 day period without work during peak farming seasons, links wage work with water security, core rural infrastructure, livelihood assets and climate resilience, and moves to weekly or fortnightly wage payments. Wages are paid directly to the bank or post office accounts of the workers through direct benefit transfer. If employment is not provided within 15 days of application, workers are entitled to an unemployment allowance.

How Does the Act Help Rural Families?

Gramin Rozgar Guarantee Cards are issued to eligible rural households under the Act. These cards contain the details of the work to be done by the job card holder or beneficiary. The list of beneficiaries is updated on the official portal from time to time, and anyone who meets the eligibility criteria can apply for a job card. Existing MGNREGA job cards remain valid for workers whose e-KYC has been completed, until new Gramin Rozgar Guarantee Cards are issued.

Progress of the Scheme

The MGNREGA was launched on 2 February 2006 in the 200 most backward districts of the country, and 130 more districts were added in the second phase in 2007-08. The scheme was extended to all remaining rural districts from 1 April 2008, and the name was later changed from NREGA to Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. Under the new Act, the implementation started across all rural areas from 1 July 2026.
