What do the job card colors (Green, Gray, Sun, Red) mean in the official list?
The official MoRD register uses 4 distinct color indicators to denote photo compliance and employment status: 1) Green: Job Card with photograph and employment availed in the current financial year. 2) Gray: Job Card with photograph uploaded, but no employment availed yet. 3) Sun (Yellow): Job Card without photograph, but employment availed. 4) Red: Job Card without photograph and no employment availed.
What does an asterisk (*) symbol mean next to a Job Card number?
An asterisk (*) next to a job card number in the official Panchayat register indicates that the job card has been cancelled, deleted, or merged by the local block/panchayat administration due to migration, duplicate registration, or annual verification audits.
Is VB-GRAM-G different from MGNREGA, and are old Job Cards still valid?
VB-GRAM-G (Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar & Aajeevika Mission, Gramin) is the statutory evolution and modernized digital portal framework of MGNREGA. All existing MGNREGA Job Cards, registration numbers, and e-KYC verified worker records remain 100% valid. Workers do not need to apply for a new card to continue working and receiving wages.
How many days of guaranteed employment are provided under the new Act?
Under the Viksit Bharat-G RAM G framework, the statutory entitlement for every eligible rural household holding an active Job Card has been enhanced up to 125 days of guaranteed wage employment per financial year for unskilled manual work.
Can I download or print my individual NREGA Job Card PDF online?
Yes. When viewing the official Gram Panchayat list, clicking directly on your blue Job Card Number link opens your complete individual Job Card document. It displays registered family members, photo status, bank account link status, and your complete 15-day muster roll work history.

How can I check my NREGA wage payment and DBT bank credit status?

How to check daily village attendance marked via NMMS mobile app?

You can verify real-time worker attendance by visiting our Live Attendance Tracker and selecting your date, state, district, and block.
How can an eligible rural household apply for a new Job Card?
Any adult member of a rural household can apply for a Job Card by submitting Form 1 (plain paper application) to the local Gram Panchayat or Program Officer. The application must include the names, ages, gender, and Aadhaar numbers of adult members willing to do manual work, along with residential proof and bank passbook copies. The Gram Panchayat is legally bound to issue the Job Card within 15 days of application.
How can a Job Card holder demand work, and what is the 15-day rule?
Registered job card holders can submit an application for work (Form 6) to the Gram Panchayat or Ward member stating the preferred dates and duration of work. Under statutory entitlement, the administration must provide wage employment within 15 days of receiving the demand application, or provide employment within a 5 km radius.
What happens if employment is not provided within 15 days of demand?
If the administration fails to provide employment within 15 days of submitting a valid work application, the applicant becomes legally entitled to a daily Unemployment Allowance (बेरोजगारी भत्ता) paid directly by the State Government into their bank account.
