As per the official website of e-shram, only the agriculture labourers and landless farmers are eligible for registration in the eSHRAM portal. It must be noted that the other farmers are not eligible to register themselves on e-shram portal.

The registered workers on e-shram portal must note that those who have registered themselves in the e-Shram portal will be enrolled under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and the premium for the first year will be borne by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

One must know about the various benefits of registration in this e-shram portal. After registering, the unorganized worker will get an Accidental Insurance cover of Rs 2 lakhs under PMSBY. In 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.

Now, for self-enrolment, the documents required include Aadhaar number, Bank account details and Aadhaar linked mobile number. Again, if one wishes to get enrolled through CSC, the documents that will be required include Aadhaar number, Bank account details. It must be noted that the registration on CSC is free of cost.
