Citizen services: how to get things done

MGNREGA (now VB-G RAM G) job card and work

  2. Ask for work in writing and keep the receipt. You now have a right to at least 125 days a year, and if work doesn’t come in the set time, you’re entitled to an unemployment allowance. Check attendance and wage payments on nrega.nic.in with your job card number.

Old-age, widow and disability pension

  1. Apply online on RajSSP (social security pension) (ssp.rajasthan.gov.in) or through an e-Mitra kiosk. Attach proof of age (or of your spouse’s death, or of disability), an income certificate, Aadhaar and your bank passbook.
