A household having adult members desirous of seeking unskilled employment in MGNREGA may apply for registration. If an applicant is not provided employment within fifteen days of receipt of his/her application seeking employment, in all cases of advance application, employment should be provided from the date that employment has been sought, or within 15 days of the date of application, whichever is later. Else, the unemployment allowance becomes due. It will be calculated automatically by the computer system or the Management Information System (MIS).
