What this guide covers

The official e-Shram portal states that eligible unorganised workers are generally aged 16 to 59 and are not members of EPFO, ESIC or a government-funded NPS arrangement, subject to current portal criteria. Registration helps connect workers with government schemes; it is not itself a promise of every benefit.

What to do now

Use only the official portal or an authorised CSC. Keep Aadhaar-linked mobile and bank details ready. Review occupation and nominee information before submission and use the official grievance portal for service problems.

Keep these records

Keep the UAN card, registration acknowledgement, updated occupation and bank information, and grievance case number.

Where to go

Use eshram.gov.in and gms.eshram.gov.in.
