(d): Under the provisions of the scheme, 100% of expenditure of the Wage and Administrative component is borne by the Central Government. Whereas 75% of the expenditure under the Material component is borne by Central Government and 25% is shared by the States/UTs. Further, out of total expenditure, upto 40% can be spent on material component. This limit is applicable at district level.

The material expenditure percentage for FY 2024-25 was 26.32% in State of Rajasthan under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGS.

However, following districts in the State of Rajasthan have incurred material expenditure exceeding 40% in financial year 2024-25:

SI.No. Districts % of material expenditure 1 Dholpur 53% 2 Karauli 50% 3 Bikaner 46% Main reason for non-adherence of 40% limit at district level is either execution of works with a high material component or clearing of pending material component liabilities of previous financial years. In

order to ensure adherence to the prescribed norms, the Ministry has introduced a validation in NREGASoft, which restricts material expenditure to a maximum of 40% at the district level. ***** Page 3 of 6Annexure-I Annexure referred to in reply to part (a) of LokSabhaUnstarred Question No. 4221 dated 19.08.2025 District-wise details of households who have completed 100 days of employment in Rajasthan under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS in the last five financial years from 2020-21 to 2024-25.
