2.3.2 Employment
Due to the state of the art technology, direct job opportunities in NTPC are severely
restricted. However for matters of employment, NTPC would be governed by the provisions
as laid out in GOI's NRRP-2007. Details have been laid out in Part-II of the policy. Cash in
lieu of employment in the form of Annuity or otherwise could also be considered as a
Rehabilitation Grant (RG), if so found feasible and desirable for a specific project based on
the consultation with the stakeholders. Details have been delineated in Para 2.3.4.2
However, in case of provision of employment at a later date, the annuity shall be
discontinued.

One time RG will be paid to eligible categories, in case of non provision of options as per
2.3.1 or 2.3.2. If a land owner category PAP does not wish to go for LFL option or the same is
not feasible, he/ she will be entitled for a RG. RG could be in different forms-fixed or regular
(in the form of annuity). It could be uniform or varying in different slabs. Various
combinations could also be worked out depending upon the local feasibility and
requirement.

1000 days Minimum Agricultural Wage (MAW) in the concerned State/ UT at the time of
