AnswerRequest

I am a resident of Jharkhand and have been working under MGNREGA for the past year. However, I have not received my wages for the past three months. I have approached the Gram Panchayat several times, but they are not taking any action. What can I do to get my wages? Can I file an RTI to know the status of my payment?

Know the practical answer?

Share the record to ask for, the authority to approach, or the next appeal step.
