e-Shram

National registration and accident cover for unorganised workers

e-Shram is the national database of unorganised workers such as farm labourers, construction workers, street vendors, domestic workers and gig and platform workers. Registered workers get a Universal Account Number card and accident insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh for death or full disability, and the registration helps the government reach them with other benefits. Workers aged 16 to 59 who are not income-tax payers or members of EPFO or ESIC can register free at a Common Service Centre or online with Aadhaar and a mobile number.
