What is a Job Card?

A Job Card under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) is a government-issued document provided to rural households in India.

This card entitles the holder to request employment under the scheme, guaranteeing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

The Job Card contains details about the work done by the cardholder and the wages paid. It is a key tool for transparency and accountability in the implementation of the NREGA scheme.

💡

The Job Card List is regularly updated to include new households or individuals who become eligible for work, such as new adult members. Deletions are also made in the case of death or permanent relocation of household members
