Government will give 500 rupees every month if you do this soon

Do you want to get 500 rupees every month and Rs 2 lakh accidental insurance cover and other benefits? Then, you have to have an e-shram card.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the e-Shram Portal on August 26, 2021 for the welfare of tens and thousands of unorganized workers in the country.

The E-Shram portal is generating database of workers from different sectors like construction, apparel manufacturing, fishing, gig and platform work, street vending, domestic work, agriculture and allied, and transport sector. An overwhelming proportion of migrant workers are engaged in these sectors of work.

As per the Economic Survey 2019-20, there are an estimated 38 crore unorganised workers in the country, which would be targeted to register on this portal. These migrant workers also can now take the benefits of various social security and employment-based schemes through registration at the e-Shram portal.

• After registration at e-SHRAM Portal, the unorganised workers receive a digital e-SHRAM card.
