The Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India has directed all online aggregators to register on the eShram Portal and integrate their systems with APIs by the given deadline of 21 June 2026, in accordance with the provisions of the Code on Social Security, 2020 through notification no-Vide No.U-11019/13/2026-GPW dated 01 June 2026.

Key highlights

For the first time, gig and platform workers are officially recognized in law.
Rule 48(2) of Social Security Rules, 2026 came on 8 May 2026. It says aggregators have to share gig/platform worker details through APIs or any electronic mode. Upload it on the govt portal.
All worker info has to be shared within 45 days from when the Rules started.
EShram Launched 26 Aug 2021. It gives unorganized workers, including gig workers, a Universal Account Number - UAN. With that UAN they can access welfare schemes.
Govt added a separate “Aggregator Module” on 12 Dec 2024. That’s where platforms register and onboard.
Zomato, Swiggy, Uber, Ola, Amazon and a few others have already completed onboarding.
All remaining aggregators must finish onboarding + API integration with eShram by 21 June 2026.
If you don’t comply, Section 133 of the Code on Social Security, 2020 kicks in. That section has penalties for non-compliance.
Register your platform workers on eShram if they aren’t registered yet. Once registered, each worker gets a UAN. That UAN can be linked to your database. Makes tracking and job-switching easier for workers.
Aggregators need to push details like: Number of days each worker worked Amount paid or payable Worker exit info, if someone leaves
Toll-free helpline 14434 is there for aggregators and workers. Use it for registration issues or tech support.
