As on 5th August 2025, over 30.98 crore unorganised workers have already registered on e-Shram portal.

The Ministry of Labour and Employment launched e-Shram portal (eshram.gov.in) on 26th August 2021 for creation of a comprehensive National Database of Unorganised Workers (NDUW) seeded with Aadhaar. 

e-Shram portal is meant to register and support the unorganised workers by providing them a Universal Account Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis.

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

So far, fourteen (14) schemes of different Central Ministries/ Departments have already been integrated/ mapped with the e-Shram.

It is meant to extend benefits and access to social security, insurance or skill development programmes to e-Shram cardholders including Pradhan Mantri Street Vendors Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PMSVANidhi).
