Overview of the E-Shram Card Scheme
The E-Shram Card Scheme is an initiative by the Indian government aimed at providing essential services to individuals working in the unorganized sector. Beneficiaries receive an E-Shram card that contains their personal details, employment information, and other relevant data.
This scheme offers a variety of benefits, including health insurance, unemployment allowances, educational support, and financial assistance. Additionally, beneficiaries can utilize their E-Shram card to access online services and apply for various schemes.
The list of workers eligible for the E-Shram Card is compiled by state governments and is released at both state and regional levels. The number of beneficiaries varies from state to state.
To determine if you or a family member qualifies for the ₹1000 allowance under the E-Shram Card, visit your state's E-Shram portal. After logging in, you can view the beneficiary list using your name, mobile number, Aadhaar number, or other details.
The E-Shram Card Scheme also provides a ₹500 allowance for registered workers who are unable to work due to various circumstances. This support is particularly aimed at those who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with funds transferred directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts as per government guidelines.
