Claim: e-SHRAM cardholders will get a pension of ₹5000 every month.
Fact-check: Mere registration on e-SHRAM portal doesn't give the registrants ₹5000 pension - FACTLY
Verdict: according to the official e-shram portal, holders of eshram card, which is issued for unorganised workers, will get an accidental insurance cover of 2 lakh rupees under pradhan mantri suraksha bhima yojana. also, one of the objectives of this portal is to share the data of these unorganised workers with various government departments in order to improve the implementation of various social security schemes meant for them. it is nowhere mentioned that the e-shram card holders are eligible for a pension of ₹5000 just by merely registering on this portal. hence the claim made in the post is false.
