Primary among these is a sharp cut in central funds to most states, which in turn has led to a steep fall in the number of projects, migration of workers due to pending wage bills and families being deprived of the mandatory 100 mandays every year. 
 The central fund allocation is slashed by up to 45% in some states. Some states are yet to receive the final instalment of this truncated allocation, forcing them to hold back wage bills. <keyword id="6357783" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="West-Bengal">West Bengal</keyword> <keyword id="74949" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Panchayat-minister">panchayat minister</keyword> <keyword id="163973" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Subrata-Mukherjee">Subrata Mukherjee</keyword> said he has been repeatedly urging the Centre to clear Rs 1,000-crore NREGS dues to his state. "This is plaguing the work already undertaken," he told ET. 
 
Nepal Singha, sabhapati of Salboni panchayat samiti in Bengal's West Midnapore, said that 10 gram panchayats under his samiti owed Rs 2.46 crore to 15,000 workers. "The delay in payment is triggering dissent among workers. They are refusing to take up fresh projects unless their dues are cleared. This has severely affected works like building roads, ponds and dams and making arid land cultivable," he told ET. Singha is not alone. Hundreds of samitis across the country face the same problem. 
 Late payments and slashed budget have derailed many projects in <keyword id="20154" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="tamil-nadu">Tamil Nadu</keyword>, which has been rated as the best performing state. "Villagers are not ready to work because of delayed wages. If the delay continues, there will be a problem getting workers under NREGS," said an official, adding there was a shortfall of Rs 1,700 crore in the last quarter of 2014-15. 
 Sources told ET in the <keyword id="58906" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Karnataka-government">Karnataka government</keyword> pointed out that the peak working season for NREGS schemes starts from NovemberDecember.
