In a significant move to streamline worker identification and remove fraudulent entries, the government has successfully identified and deleted 2.11 crore fake or duplicate worker records from the e-Shram portal.
The e-Shram portal, designed to centralise and authenticate information about unorganised workers across the country, has so far registered over 40 crore workers. Integration with Aadhaar and ration cards has played a crucial role in detecting and eliminating fake registrations.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment also confirmed that the platform enabled state governments to better allocate welfare schemes and financial assistance during emergencies like COVID-19 and natural disasters.
Below is the key data presented:
| Data Point | Value |
|---|---|
| Total workers registered on e-Shram | 40.45 crore |
| Fake/Duplicate records identified and deleted | 2.11 crore |
| States enabled to deliver welfare benefits through e-Shram | All States/UTs |
| Integration methods used | Aadhaar and ration card linkage |
The e-Shram portal continues to serve as a powerful tool in digitising the workforce and improving transparency in welfare delivery.
