Sir
The MGNREGA Act doesnot mention anything about gram panchayat member to be unemployed.
However, section 12 (h) of Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act 1993 mentions below point for disqualification of gram panchayat member :-----------
Section 12: Disqualification for members.- A person shall be disqualified for being chosen and for being a member of a Grama Panchayat,-
(h) if, save as hereinafter provided he has directly or indirectly any share or interest in any work done by order of the Grama Panchayat, or in any contract or employment with, or under, or by, or on behalf of, the Grama Panchayat 1[or if he is either directly or indirectly by himself or by his agent, partner or employee involved in obtaining or execution of any such work or contract on behalf of the Grama Panchayat or of any contract for the supply of goods and services to the Grama Panchayat;]
Please guide me further Sir,Thank you for your help

if you feel that he is being remunerated by activity of panchayat then make petition for his removal.
