Ministry of Labour & Employment vide circular dated 16 September, 2024 has issued directions for registration of gig and platform workers on e-Shram portal of the Ministry of Labour & Employment. The Ministry of Labour & Employment had launched the eShram portal on 26th August 2021 to register and support the unorganised/migrant workers of the country by providing them with a Universal Account Number (UAN) that helps in skilling, finding jobs and checking their eligibility for different social sector schemes being administered by Central and State Governments. The Ministry is making the portal as ‘One-Stop-Solution’ for the workers on a mission mode to help them access various social security schemes all in one place therefore, making it easier for them to identify their eligibility and avail the benefits they are entitled to.
So far, the Aggregators and Platform workers have been supporting this initiative and the Ministry wishes to continue advancing in a collaborative manner. Their support is requested for ensuring the registration of your platform workers on e-Shram portal of this Ministry to achieve a just and equitable gig and platform economy.
