Enumerating the benefits of registration, the Minister said that the registration provides Rs 2 lakh Accidental Insurance Cover. If a worker is registered on the e-Shram portal and meets with an accident, he will be eligible for Rs 2 lakh on death or permanent disability and Rs 1 lakh on partial disability.
The workers are provided upon registration a Universal Account Number, which will make it easy for the portability of social security schemes, Ration Cards etc especially for the migrant workers.
