SHRAM SUVIDHA PORTAL

The Ministry of Labour & Employment has developed a unified Web Portal 'Shram Suvidha', catering to four major organisations under its aegis: Office of Chief Labour Commissioner (Central); Directorate General of Mines Safety; Employees' Provident Fund Organization; and Employees' State Insurance Corporation.

The portal's four main features are:

1. Unique Labour Identification Number (LIN) allotted to Units facilitating online registration.
2. Filing of self-certified, simplified Single Online Return by industry. Units will only file a single consolidated Online Return, instead of separate Returns. Amendments to 10 Rules already undertaken.
3. Transparent Labour Inspection Scheme via computerized system as per risk-based criteria and uploading of Inspection Reports within 48 hours by Labour Inspectors.
