What is it?
e-Shram is the national database of unorganised workers — construction workers, street vendors, domestic workers, migrants and more. Registration gives a 12-digit UAN and an accidental insurance cover, and states use the database to send cash assistance to registered workers.
Benefits
Verifying your registration confirms your UAN is active and your bank details are correct — which is what states use to transfer announced assistance. If your details are wrong or outdated, payments fail, so checking and updating them matters.
Eligibility criteria
- ✓Age 16–59 years
- ✓Working in the unorganised sector (not a member of EPFO/ESIC)

How to apply — step by step
- Open eshram.gov.in on your phone

- Enter your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and verify with OTP

- Check that your bank account and occupation details are correct; update if changed
- For state cash assistance, check your state labour portal with the same UAN/Aadhaar
Important dates
Registration and updates are open year-round and free. State assistance schemes for registered workers have their own announced windows — keep your bank and mobile details updated so you do not miss a transfer.
Common mistakes to avoid
- ✓Registering with a mobile number that is not linked to Aadhaar — OTP never arrives
- ✓Old or closed bank account on record, causing payment failure
- ✓Paying agents for registration — it is free on the portal and at CSCs
- ✓Believing fake messages about automatic payments — always verify on eshram.gov.in
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my e-Shram registration is active?
Use 'Already Registered' on eshram.gov.in with your Aadhaar-linked mobile and OTP — an active UAN card confirms it.
Everyone got a payment but I did not. Why?
State transfers go only to the bank account on record. If yours is closed, wrong or not Aadhaar-seeded, update it on the portal and contact your state labour office.
Is there a fee for e-Shram registration?
No — registration and updates are completely free on the portal and at Common Service Centres.
What insurance do I get with e-Shram?
Registered workers get ₹2 lakh accidental insurance cover linked to PMSBY for the first year as per scheme rules.
