📋

Application Process

Registration or renewal of the labour card can be done online at the closest Jan Suvidha Kendra or Shramik Suvidha Kendra by building and construction workers.
The application form has to be accompanied by two passport-size photographs. Age can be verified through any one of these: 10th certificate, birth certificate, medical officer's certificate, notarized affidavit of the construction worker, voter identity card, ration card, or a certificate from the Village Panchayat Officer, Village Head, or Councillor.
Workers must also provide a certificate of at least 90 days of construction work in the previous year and a nomination form naming their legal heirs.
In addition, the Aadhaar card, ration card, Aadhaar-linked bank account details, self-certification or self-declaration form (issued only at Jan Suvidha Kendra or Shramik Suvidha Kendra), and dependents' Aadhaar cards must be supplied. Once every document is uploaded, a registration fee of ₹100/- has to be paid.
The concerned department then receives the application. On successful verification of the documents, the worker is entered in the Labour Register, and the number allotted becomes the worker's official registration number.
After approval, a Photo Identity Card is issued by the Registration Officer and can be collected from the Public Service Centre of the concerned department or the Labour Department office. The card remains valid for three years. Renewal Process:
Renewal must be applied for before three years are completed.
A contribution of ₹100/- must be paid by the construction worker for each three-year renewal cycle. Workers who do not renew in time lose eligibility for future benefits. Membership can, however, be restored with the authorized officer's permission on payment of the outstanding amount, and this restoration is allowed only twice.

Ensure all required documents are ready before starting the application process.
