Quick note: VB-G RAM G stands for Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin). It replaced MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) from 1 July 2026 and now guarantees up to 125 days of wage employment per rural household in a financial year.
Linking Aadhaar to your job card and bank account (Aadhaar seeding / ABPS) is essential for smooth wage payment under VB-G RAM G. Most payment failures trace back to incomplete seeding.
How to Link Aadhaar
- Visit your Gram Panchayat office or Gram Rozgar Sahayak with your Aadhaar card.
- Give written consent for Aadhaar seeding with your job card.
- Separately, ask your bank to seed Aadhaar with your account and map it to NPCI.
- Verify the status later through the Panchayat or the portal’s seeding report.
Why It Matters
- Wages route through the Aadhaar Payment Bridge System (ABPS)
- Prevents payment rejections due to wrong account details
- Stops duplicate or fake job card payments
