Payment Due

Sometimes under MGNREGS, the payment for wage or material is delayed beyond the stipulated time period of 15 days. Such payment delay at the end of the financial year is reflected under the indicator ‘Payment Due’. This visualisation shows the amount of ‘payment due’ as a proportion of total expenditure, state-wise and district-wise. The trend is available for five financial years (2018-19 to 2022-23).
