Eshram

Overview

The Eshram API category provides seamless integration with India's E-Shram portal, the country's first national database of unorganized workers. This category enables businesses to verify and retrieve authentic worker information using Universal Account Numbers (UAN) and dates of birth. With over 270 million registered unorganized workers, the E-Shram database serves as a critical resource for businesses operating in India's informal sector, providing verified contact details and employment information that can streamline worker onboarding, payroll processing, and compliance reporting.

Key Capabilities

Main Functionality

The Eshram API category specializes in worker verification and data retrieval from India's official E-Shram database. It provides authenticated access to verified worker profiles, enabling businesses to obtain accurate personal and contact information for unorganized sector workers across various industries including construction, domestic work, agriculture, and manufacturing.

Worker Identity Verification

Authenticate and verify worker identities using their unique UAN numbers combined with date of birth validation, ensuring accurate identification of registered E-Shram workers and preventing identity fraud in worker onboarding processes.

Contact Information Retrieval

Access verified contact details including full names, mobile numbers, and email addresses (when available) directly from the government database, eliminating the need for manual data collection and reducing errors in worker information management.

Real-time Data Access

Retrieve up-to-date worker information instantly through API calls, ensuring businesses always have access to the most current contact details and employment status information maintained in the E-Shram database.

Common Use Cases

Construction & Infrastructure

Manufacturing & Industrial

Services & Logistics

Verify skilled and unskilled construction workers during project onboarding

Maintain accurate worker databases for compliance with labor regulations

Streamline wage disbursement processes using verified contact information

Generate worker reports for government compliance and project documentation

Integration Considerations

Best Practices

Rate Limiting: Implement appropriate rate limiting to avoid overwhelming the API service and ensure consistent performance across all requests

Data Privacy: Store retrieved worker information securely and comply with Indian data protection regulations when handling personal information

Error Handling: Build robust error handling mechanisms to manage cases where worker information may not be available or UAN numbers are invalid

Caching Strategy: Implement intelligent caching for frequently accessed worker profiles while ensuring data freshness requirements are met

Important Limitations

API responses depend on data availability in the government E-Shram database

Email addresses may not be available for all registered workers

Worker information is subject to government database updates and maintenance schedules

Authentication requires valid JWT tokens for both sandbox and production environments

How APIs in this Category Work Together

Currently, the Eshram category contains a single API endpoint focused on worker verification and data retrieval. As this category expands, additional APIs may be introduced to provide complementary functionality for different aspects of E-Shram integration.

Current Integration Pattern:

Eshram Verification API: Serves as the primary entry point for all worker verification needs, providing comprehensive worker details through UAN-based lookups

The Eshram Verification API forms the foundation for building comprehensive worker management systems. Organizations typically integrate this API into their existing HR systems, payroll platforms, or worker onboarding workflows to automatically verify and populate worker information, reducing manual data entry and ensuring accuracy through government-verified sources.

The Eshram category complements other identity verification and compliance-focused API categories within the broader KYC and verification ecosystem. While Eshram specifically focuses on unorganized worker verification, it often works alongside other verification services to provide comprehensive identity validation.

Related Categories include:

PAN Verification: Works together with Eshram for complete worker identity verification, combining tax identification with employment status validation

Aadhaar Verification: Provides additional biometric and demographic verification layers when used alongside E-Shram worker information

Bank Account Verification: Enables end-to-end worker onboarding by verifying banking details for workers identified through E-Shram verification

These categories together form a comprehensive verification ecosystem that supports businesses in maintaining accurate, verified worker databases while ensuring compliance with Indian labor laws and regulations. The combination enables organizations to build trust-based worker networks backed by multiple layers of government-verified information.
