As of November 26, 2024, more than 30.42 crore unorganised workers have registered on the eShram portal, enabling them to access various social security benefits.
The eShram portal has been integrated with several key government portals and schemes to provide broader benefits to unorganised workers, including:
- National Career Service (NCS) Portal Integration: Workers can use their Universal Account Number (UAN) to register on the NCS portal and explore job opportunities. A direct link is available on the eShram portal to simplify registration on NCS.
- Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan (PM-SYM): This pension scheme, aimed at workers aged 18-40, offers a monthly pension of Rs. 3,000 once they turn 60. Registration is seamless through the eShram portal, where the government covers 50% of the contribution.
- Migrant Worker and Family Details: eShram now allows migrant workers to add family details, improving welfare tracking.
- Construction Workers’ Data Sharing: eShram enables the sharing of data related to construction workers with states and union territories for smooth registration with Building and Other Construction Workers (BoCW) boards.
- Skill Development and Apprenticeship: The portal is integrated with the Skill India Digital portal, offering unorganised workers opportunities for skill enhancement and apprenticeships.
- myScheme Integration: eShram connects with the myScheme portal, a one-stop platform where workers can search for government schemes based on their eligibility.
- eShram as a One-Stop Solution: Launched on October 21, 2024, this initiative integrates multiple social security schemes, allowing workers to view benefits they have availed through a single portal.
Currently, 12 schemes from various ministries and departments have been integrated into eShram. These include:
- Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY)
