Hi,

Hope you are doing great

Any worker who is unorganized and aged between 16 to 59 is eligible for the e -shram card. The unorganized worker is the one who is a home-based worker, self-employed worker, or a wage worker working in the unorganized sector and not a member of ESIC or EPFO, is called an unorganized worker.

The benefit of making this card is that he/she will get an Accidental Insurance cover of 2 Lacs under PMSBY. In the future, all the social security benefits of unorganized workers will be delivered through this portal. In emergency and national pandemic-like situations, this database may be utilized to provide necessary assistance to the eligible unorganized workers.

Hope this helps.
