## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) & (b): The e-SHRAM portal is meant for facilitating delivery of Social Security Schemes to the Unorganised workers. As on 08.03.2022, more than 26.50 crore unorganised workers have been registered on e-SHRAM portal. The detail of State wise registration is annexed.

All eligible registered unorganised workers are entitled to get benefit of an accidental insurance cover of Rs. 2.0 Lakh for a year free of cost  through  Pradhan  Mantri  Suraksha  Bima  Yojana  (PMSBY).  The registered  workers  on  e-SHRAM  are  entitled  to  take  benefit  of  Pradhan Mantri  Shramyogi  Mandhan  (PM-SYM)  pension  scheme  &  NPS-Traders Pension Schemes. As of now, no such data on the number of unorganised workers  who  have  received  benefits  of  any  social  security/welfare scheme is maintained on this portal.
