Faulty compulsion: On the issue of MGNREGS and Aadhaar seeding

Context:

Issues with Aadhaarseeding are a challenge for MGNREGS beneficiaries.

Deadline Refusal and Mandatory ABPS

Government Stance: ABPS ensures quick payments and prevents leaks, relying on Aadhaar's widespread use.
Impact on Job Card Holders: 35% reliant on ABPS, affecting 12.7% active workers, potentially hampering scheme accessibility.
Implementation Issues: Technical reliance causes errors, with 7.6 crore workers' names deleted due to Aadhaarjob card discrepancies.

Issues with AadhaarBased Payments

Payment Failures: Errors in spelling, wrong Aadhaarbank account mapping lead to payment failures.
Delayed Wage Payments: Government claims on reduced delays debunked, citing fund insufficiency as a primary cause.
Consequences of Mandatory ABPS: Further complications likely without rectifying Aadhaar seeding and mapping flaws.

Revisiting Mandatory ABPS Decision

Government's Consideration: Possible exemptions on technical grounds, advocating social audits before imposing ABPS.
Recommendation: Ministry should correct faulty seeding and mapping issues prior to enforcing ABPS.
Scheme Vitality: Stress on maintaining MGNREGS's demand driven nature, independent of flawed technological reliance.
