The Modi government has embarked on an innovative scheme designed to provide aid to millions of individuals labouring in the unorganised sectors of India. The newly launched e-Shram portal aims to safeguard worker’s interests and has already initiated registration procedures. As per information provided by the Ministry of Labour, over two crore labourers have already registered on this portal. The scheme seeks to provide all workers with an e-Shram Card, offering them significant benefits.
Key Features of the e-Shram Card
This digital platform is more than just a registration portal for workers. It provides each registered labourer with an e-Shram Card. This card serves as a vital tool for labourers across the country, allowing them to access the multitude of benefits provided by this government scheme. From detailed information about e-Shram Card registration, benefits, and payment status to steps for downloading and updating the Unique Identification Number (UAN) Card, the portal has it all.
The Impact of e-Shram Card on Workers
The e-Shram Card is more than just an identity card. It opens doors to a multitude of benefits for workers in India’s unorganised sectors. According to information released by the Ministry of Labour, all workers who register on this portal will be instantly eligible for numerous schemes, including the Prime Minister’s Labourer Pension Scheme (PMSYM), the Prime Minister’s Insurance Scheme (PMSBY), and the Prime Minister’s Life Insurance Scheme (PMJJBY), among others.
Eligibility for e-Shram Card Registration
Those seeking to reap the benefits of this scheme need to meet certain eligibility criteria. They must be permanent residents of India, possess an Aadhaar Card issued by the Indian Unique Identification Authority (UIDAI), and should not be income taxpayers. The age limit for applicants is between 16 and 60 years. Applicants can register for the e-Shram Card on its official website, eshram.gov.in.
In summary, the e-Shram Card initiative is set to revolutionise labour welfare in India, proving once again that Modi’s government is committed to improving the lives of the nation’s workers, particularly those in unorganised sectors. This is one initiative that is certainly worth keeping an eye on.
