Government propose U-WIN Card

Registration, identification and issuance of the smart card to unorganised workers come under the purview of the respective State/UT Governments as per the Unorganised Workers� Social Security Act, 2008.

However, the Government has proposed a unified IT based platform for delivery of the services available under various social security schemes. The proposal is being reviewed on the basis of remarks/comments received from various stakeholders. In view of near universal coverage of Aadhaar, the Government is now working on a policy on delivery of various public services using Aadhaar, Jan Dhan Yojana account (JDY) and existing platform without the issuance of new ‘Unorganized Workers Identification Number’ (U-WIN Card).
