Earlier UWIN Card Merged with e-Shram Card

Earlier Labour Ministry of Central government was issuing UWIN Card to labourers in Informal Sector. In this UWIN Card initiative, govt. make registration of around 42 crore unorganized sector workers. Accordingly, people working as informal labour were given Unorganized Worker Index Number Cards to enable them to avail the benefits of social security schemes run by EPFO and ESIC. This initiative now gets merged with e-Shram initiative.


UWIN Card Online Registration 2023 Process Changed

UWIN Card online registrations will now be done through e-Shram portal and UWIN portal will be discontinued. Unorganised Workers Identification Number or UWIN Card contains a unique number to be issued as the identity proof to unorganised workers in India. The unorganised workers Identification Number is a number provided to the large section of unorganised sector workers by issuing a unique ID and allotting an Aadhaar seeded identification number without issuing any smart cards. 


In 2014 the Union Ministry of Labour and Employment had decided to design and develop the unorganised workers’ Identification Number (UWIN) platform under the unorganised workers Social Security Act 2008. It had been mandated for every unorganised sector worker to get themselves registered at the UWIN platform. But now UWIN portal stands closed and any unorganised sector worker who wish to get unique ID will have to get themselves registered at eshram.gov.in portal.


Beneficiaries of Unorganised Workers Identification Number (UWIN) Card

The Indian labour force is divided into formal and informal sector. There are around 47.41 crore labourers in combined formal and informal sectors. Out of which, 82.7% of the labour force lie under the unorganised sector and 17.3% lie under the organized sector as per the NSSO survey 2011-12. Around 42 crore unorganised sector workers will be the beneficiaries of UWIN card.


Social Security Benefits to Unorganised Workers

To provide the social security benefits the Government of India had enacted the unorganised workers Social Security Act in 2008, to create a right-based legal framework for providing the social security framework to the least benefited unorganised sector workers. Under this act the provision of UWIN card is made to provide these workers with all the social security benefits. At present there is no centralized database that shows the number of unorganised workers in India. UWIN will help to build the national unorganised worker’s database. For this purpose, registration for Unorganised Workers begins at eshram.gov.in website.


As per the expectation of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the national database of unorganised workers shall cover 675 districts in 28 states and 8 union territories. This data would be useful for other ministries to provide benefits to the workers under the social security schemes. UWIN cards will bring the unorganized sector workers under social security net. Accordingly labourers will get access to various schemes of Employee Provident Fund Organization (retirement fund body) and Employee State Insurance Corporation (state health insurer).


Objectives of UWIN Card Initiative

Here are the major objectives of the UWIN Card Initiative to provide identification number to unorganized sector workers:-


Creation of a single unified sanitized database for unorganised workers to act as a platform to enable social security services to be provided to unorganised workers.

Identification of unorganised workers after they are duly registered, assigning a unique UWIN (unorganised Workers Identification Number) to every registered worker.

The card will include family details through concept of nuclear family and linked family, and associated linkages to facilitate delivery of family-based benefits through the scheme.

This Platform will assist in identifying and enabling skill development requirement, employer-worker mapping and outcome-based policy formulation and decision making.

Expand the social security schemes’ benefits to approximately 15 Crore Families (42 Crore Unorganised Sector Workers).

An Overview of UWIN Card for Informal Workers

Each UWIN Card has a unique number embedded on it which will get seeded with Aadhaar Number. This is essential in order to provide benefits of social security schemes at single point. Moreover after the registration process is complete, govt. may bring Labour Code on Social Security & welfare. UWIN Cards are efficient and the pilot phase results of this e-shram system are satisfactory.

However, primary issue remains that who will pay contribution to the informal workers under schemes of EPFO and ESIC. Under these schemes, employees and employers both contribute to social security scheme accounts. Accordingly, govt. plans to formulate a separate mechanism to collect funds as employers will not contribute for this scheme.

Central govt. wants to assign social security code to the informal labourers. This new code will resolve the issue of employer contribution. In addition to this, code also facilitate the worker to become a principal employer if worker is an informal or non-employee. This code will eliminate the need of principal employer to subscribe and avail benefits of social security schemes.

Furthermore, code on Social Security & Welfare would merge all 15 existing social security laws. This will include EPF & MP Act, ESI Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Employees Compensation Act, Unorganized Social Security Act and several other Welfare Cess or Fund Acts.
