In short e-Shram is the national register of unorganised workers. If you are 16 to 59, work as a daily-wage, farm, home-based or self-employed worker, and are not a member of EPFO or ESIC, you can register free on eshram.gov.in or at a Common Service Centre. You need your Aadhaar and the mobile linked to it. You get a 12-digit UAN that never expires.
