(a) to (d): e-SHRAM  portal  envisages  registration  of  all  unorganised sector  workers  to  create  a  comprehensive  database  of  unorganised workers. At present, there are more  than  28.62 crore  workers registered  in  the  portal.  After  registration  on  e-SHRAM,  a  Universal Account  Number  (UAN)  is  provided  to  the  worker.  The  State  wise number  of  registrations  under  e-SHRAM  is  annexed.  Government  of India is paying Rs. 20 per worker to Common Service Centre (CSC) and State Seva Kendras as registration charges for facilitating registration of  unorganised  workers  on  e-SHRAM.  As  on  31 st   December,  2022  an amount of around Rs. 347 crore has been given to CSC and Rs. 19.07 Crore  to  States/UTs  with  regard  to  registration  and  IEC  activities respectively.

Further, e-SHRAM portal has been integrated with Pradhan Mantri  Shram  Yogi  Maandhan Scheme (PMSYM) which is a voluntary and contributory pension schemes under which unorganised workers contribute Rs. 55/- to Rs. 200/- per month (based on entry age) as their contribution and equal matching contribution is provided by Government of India. On attaining age of 60 years, a monthly pension of Rs. 3000 is provided to PMSYM beneficiaries. e-SHRAM registrants can easily opt for PMSYM scheme using e-SHRAM Universal Account Number.

Also, the Ministry has shared e-SHRAM data of unorganised workers totalling to 28.51 crore (as on 17.02.2023) with the National Health Authority (NHA) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. It was observed from the analysis of the data that approximately 40% of  the  workers  registered  on  e-SHRAM  are  already  registered  under PMJAY.
