60 lakh new job cards issued under MGNREGS every year, govt tells Lok Sabha

Sixty lakh new job cards are issued every year under the MGNREGS. The government does not delete job cards, which is based on factors like fake cards and deaths. Ninety-nine percent of job cards are Aadhaar-seeded to ensure transparency. Deletion responsibility lies with state governments. Active job cards are around 9.2 crore, out of 13-14 crore total job cards.
