You can work with your old job card until you get the new Rural Employment Guarantee Card.

The central government is implementing the Bharat-Guarantee for Employment and Livelihood Mission (Rural) Act, 2025 (VB-G RAM G) from Wednesday. Under this, now there will be a legal guarantee of employment for 125 days in a year instead of 100.

At the same time, the average daily wage across the country has increased from ₹ 298.8 to ₹ 327.4 per day. That means there has been an average increase of Rs 28.6 per day. Rs 95,692.31 crore has been given to the states and union territories, so that wages can be paid on time and work can continue.

The national launch of this law will take place on July 2 in Mukkavaripalli village in Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh. During this period, Rural Employment Guarantee Cards will be distributed and people will be informed about the scheme. Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said that the government has made complete preparations.
