For  providing  benefits,  eShram  portal  is  integrated  / mapped with following portal/schemes:

An unorganised worker can register on NCS using his/ her Universal  Account  Number  (UAN)  and  search  for  suitable  job opportunities. An option/ link has also been provided to registrants' on eShram portal to seamlessly register on NCS.

- (ii). eShram is integrated with Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan (PM-SYM). PM-SYM is a pension scheme for unorganised workers who are aged between 18-40 years. It provides a monthly pension of Rs. 3000/- after attaining the age of 60 years. Using UAN any unorganised  worker  can  easily  enrol  under  PMSYM.  In  the scheme  50  percent of the contribution is borne by the Government of  India  and  the  rest  is  being  contributed  by  the worker.
- (iii). Provision has been added in eShram to capture family details of migrant workers.

- (vi). upon the eligibility of the citizen.

In keeping with the vision of the Budget Announcement recently on developing eShram as a One-Stop-Solution for unorganised labour to have access to various social sector schemes, Ministry of Labour and Employment launched the eShram -'One - StopSolution' on 21st October 202 4. 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,  12  schemes  of  different  Central  Ministries  / Departments have already been integrated/ mapped with the eShram including Pradhan Mantri Surakhsa Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri  Jeevan  Jyoti  Bima  Yojana  (PMJJBY),  Ayushman  Bharat  Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, Prime Minister  Street Vendors AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM-SVANidhi), PM Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U), PM Awas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
