The Central Government started the E-Shram Card Scheme to give financial security to lakhs of workers in the unorganised sector. Many people still don’t know that eligible workers under this scheme can get financial help of up to ₹5000 every month. This step by the government is a big help for those who don’t have a permanent job or pension.
E-Shram Card: For Whom and Why It Is Important
The E-Shram Card scheme is made for workers in the unorganised sector. It helps people like construction workers, rickshaw pullers, domestic helpers, daily wage earners, small shopkeepers, street vendors, and farmers. These workers usually do not get any pension or insurance benefits.
Under this scheme, the central government gives benefits like pension, accident insurance, and monthly financial help. The E-Shram Card keeps workers’ name, job type, and income details in a central database. This helps the government give benefits directly in future schemes.
₹5000 Help Every Month: How to Get It
The central government has said that some workers can get up to ₹5000 every month based on their age, income, and type of work. This money will go directly to their bank accounts. It will help them and their families stay financially secure.
