The Ministry of Labor has started a specially designed e-shram portal for the workers of the unorganized sector from Thursday. Registration has also started on this across the country.
According to the government, this portal will help in creating a national level database of workers in the unorganized sector. The government estimates that about 38 crore laborers will be able to register themselves on the portal.
Registration will be like this
First of all go to the portal https://www.eshram.gov.in/. As soon as you enter the Aadhaar number for registration, all the information of the worker from the database there will automatically be visible on the portal. The person will have to fill other important information including mobile number along with his bank information. This online form can also be updated further. One can either register himself or take the help of Common Service Centers across the country for this. After registration, an e-Shram card will be issued with the Universal Account Number of the individual. For registration, the government has also kept the toll free number 14434, where all the information related to it can be taken. State governments can also register their workers through this portal.
