## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT

## (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

- (a) to (d): On 26.08.2021 Ministry of Labour & Employment has launched eShram portal which is a National Database of the Unorganised Workers. The total registration on eShram portal as on 26.07.2022 is more than 28 crore. One of  the  objectives of  eShram portal  is to  facilitate delivery of

social  benefit  schemes  to  the  unorganised  workers.  Any  unorganised worker aged between 16-59 years and not a member of Employees' State Insurance  Corporation  (ESIC)/  Employees'  Provident  Fund  Organisation (EPFO) is eligible for registration on this portal. The workers can easily get themselves registered on the portal through following three modes:-

- (i) Self registration
- (ii) Through Common Service Centres (CSCs)

(iii) Through State Seva Kendras.

As  on  26.07.2022,  state-wise  registration  on  eShram  portal, including top five States with maximum registration, is at Annexure-I and district wise registration/number of eShram card issued in Maharashtra is at Annexure-II.

A link for maandhan.in portal is provided on eShram portal to facilitate eShram registrants to register and get benefit of Pradhan Mantri Shram  Yogi  Maandhan  Yojana  (PM-SYM)  and  National  Pension  Scheme

(NPS) for traders and self employed persons.

The  registration  of  more  than  28  crore  unorganised  workers on the eShram portal in less than one year through collective efforts of Central  and  State/UT  Governments,  and  unorganized  workers  indicates actualization of the concept of 'Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas/Sabka VishwasSabka Prayas'.

(e) & (f): To  extend  the  benefits  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Shram  Yogi  Maandhan (PM-SYM) pension scheme  to the unorganized workers, the Government has taken Donate-a-Pension initiative under which people/employers can donate the premium contribution for their immediate support staff such as domestic workers, drivers, helpers, care givers, nurses, in their household or establishment or any other eligible unorganized  workers  in  the  age  group  of  18-40  years  so  as  to  provide them old age protection through PM-SYM pension scheme. The people/employers  can  donate  pension  on  https://maandhan.in/  or  by visiting the nearest Common Service Centre.
