To provide social security to employees in unorganized sectors, the Government of India launched the e-Shram Yojana. Furthermore, the government introduced the e-Shram gateway to benefit workers in unorganized sectors (companies with less than 10 workers). The e-Shram portal's goal is to collect a database of unorganized workers to supply them with the perks of different government programs.
If you work in an unorganized sector, you must apply for a Shramik card or an e-Shram card. Laborers and workers in unorganized sectors can get various benefits through the e-Shram card, such as retirement after 60 years, death insurance, financial assistance in case of incapacity, and many other government programs. The e-Shram card's goal is to provide access to unorganized workers to all new government programs and facilities via the e-Shram card.
The unorganized sector consists of organizations that sell services and products and employ fewer than ten people. And they are not protected by ESIC or EPFO. Unorganized workers include anyone who works in the unorganized sector. They can be people working from home, self-employed, and not members of ESIC or EPFO.
One can obtain the e-Shram card through the CSC (Common Service Centre) or the e-Shram website. Eligible individuals can apply for the e-Shram card at their nearest SC center (or online). They can use the e-Shram portal to find the nearest CSC center by providing the state and district where they want to apply for the e-Shram card.
