About e-Shram Portal

The Ministry of Labour and Employment launched the e-Shram portal.
It is a government portal, launched six months ago, with the aim of creating a national database of unorganised workers and to facilitate social security schemes for them.
Unique IDs on the e-Shram portal carry the same series from the Employees Provident Fund Organisation’s (EPFO) universal account number (UAN).
If a worker is registered on the eSHRAM portal and meets with an accident, he will be eligible for Rs 2.0 Lakh on death or permanent disability and Rs 1.0 lakh on partial disability
