(a) to (g): The Ministry of  Labour  and  Employment  launched  eShram portal (eshram.gov.in) on 26th August 2021 for creation of a comprehensive  National  Database  of  Unorganised  Workers  (NDUW) seeded with Aadhaar. eShram portal is meant to register and support the  unorganised  workers  by  providing  them  a  Universal  Account Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis.

As on 4 th  August 2025, over 30.98 crore unorganised workers have already registered on eShram portal.

In  keeping  with  the  vision  of  the  Budget  Announcement 2024-25 on developing eShram as a One-Stop-Solution for unorganized workers to have access to various social security schemes, Ministry of Labour and Employment launched the eShram -'One -StopSolution' on 21 st   October 2024. eShram -'One -StopSolution' entails integration of different social security/ welfare schemes at single portal i.e. eShram. This  enables  unorganised  workers  registered  on  eShram  to  access social  security  schemes  and  see  benefits  availed  by  them  so  far, through eShram.

So far, fourteen (14) schemes of different Central Ministries/ Departments have already been integrated/ mapped with the eShram including Pradhan Mantri Street Vendors Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PMSVANidhi), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri  Jeevan  Jyoti  Bima  Yojana  (PMJJBY),  National  Family  Benefit Scheme (NFBS), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme (MGNREGS), Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana -Gramin (PMAY-G), Ayushman Bharat -Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (ABPMJAY),  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana -Urban  (PMAY-U),  Pradhan Mantri  Matsya  Sampada  Yojana  (PMMSY),  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) and Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandna Yojana (PMMVY).

Apart  from  the  above,  eShram  has  linkages  with  Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM), National Career Service (NCS), Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG), Digital Locker (DigiLocker), myScheme and Open

Government Data Platform (OGD).

The  registration  process  is  an  ongoing  and  continuous registration  module  or  assisted  registration  via  Common  Service activity,  allowing  workers  to  enrol  at  any  time  through  a  selfCentres (CSCs) or State Sewa Kandra's (SSKs).

To  enhance  the  effectiveness  of  the  eShram  portal  and ensure  broader  coverage  of  unorganised  workers,  the  Ministry  has launched the Platform Aggregator module on 12th December 2024 to onboard  platform  aggregators  on  eShram.  This  initiative  integrates formal recognition of platform-based gig workers and access to Social Security / Welfare Schemes, thereby reinforcing the government's commitment these aggregators into the eShram  ecosystem,  ensuring to inclusive and equitable labour welfare.

The  employers  can  always  encourage  and  motivate  their unorganised workers to register themselves on the eShram portal. In this regard, discussions are held from time to time with the concerned stakeholders to encourage registration on eShram portal.
