The aim is to enrol nearly 380 mn workers and provide them benefits during times of distress

The Union government will roll out the unorganized sector database by the end of July to enrol almost 380 million workers, weeks after the Supreme Court rapped the labour ministry, saying that it showed “unpardonable" apathy towards workers in the informal sector.

The development comes more than a year after the mass reverse migration of workers following the nationwide lockdown imposed on 25 March to contain the spread of coronavirus.

However, the exercise has already been delayed and the second covid wave exposed the shortcomings and also highlighted that the labour ministry has lagged behind in putting in place a national database that would help informal sector workers get welfare benefits.

Every informal sector worker will now be registered in a national database and each account will be linked with the 12-digit Aadhaar number and bank account, according to the plan of the labour ministry.

At least 300,000 common service centres and 100,000 post offices shall be roped in for the exercise, at least three government officials said requesting anonymity.

The ministry shall spend around 750 crore for the exercise, one of the officials mentioned above said.

“We are confident that we shall roll out the national database by the end of July. The National Informatics Centre is preparing the technology backbone at a cost of 45 crore. Overall, the expenditure is around 750 crore," said the second official.

“States, the Centre and individuals themselves can enrol either directly or via common service centres and post offices. Once in place, the migrants and informal sector workers will be able to enjoy seamless benefits, including social security, when the government announces anything for them," the second official said.
