Update 2: Correct Name on e-Shram

Your name on e-Shram is pulled directly from Aadhaar. You cannot edit it independently on the e-Shram portal.

   • Visit myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in
   • Click "Update Aadhaar" → select "Name"
   • Upload supporting document (PAN, passport, voter ID, etc.)
   • Pay ₹50 fee
   • Takes 7-15 working days

2. After Aadhaar name is updated:

   • Log in to register.eshram.gov.in
   • Your updated name from Aadhaar will reflect automatically
   • Download fresh e-Shram card with corrected name

Update 3: Change Address on e-Shram

Like name, your address comes from Aadhaar.

Steps:

1. Update address on Aadhaar:

   • Online: myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in → Update Aadhaar → Address (₹50 fee, needs address proof document)
   • Offline: Visit Aadhaar centre with address proof document
   • See our Aadhaar address change guide for detailed steps

2. After Aadhaar update reflects (7-15 days):

   • Log in to e-Shram portal
   • Download updated card — new address will show

Update 4: Change Bank Account Details

Bank details can be updated directly on the e-Shram portal. This is important for receiving scheme benefits via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).

Steps:

1. Visit register.eshram.gov.in
2. Click "Already Registered" → log in with Aadhaar + OTP
3. Go to "Update Profile"
4. Edit Bank Account Number and IFSC Code
5. Ensure the account is:
   • In your name (matching Aadhaar name)
   • A savings account
   • Active and linked to Aadhaar (for DBT)
6. Submit and verify
7. Download updated e-Shram card

Tip: Link your bank account to Aadhaar via your bank for seamless DBT. Most banks offer this through net banking or by visiting a branch.

2. Go to "Update Profile"
3. Edit occupation category, sub-category, or nominee details

Troubleshooting Update Errors

"Unable to Update" Error

• Clear browser cache and try again
• Use Chrome or Firefox
• Try during off-peak hours

OTP Not Received for Login

• The login OTP goes to your Aadhaar-linked mobile, not the e-Shram mobile
• If you don't have access to Aadhaar-linked mobile, update it at an Aadhaar centre first

Changes Not Reflecting on Card

• Log out and log in again

Important Tips

• Always download a new card after making any updates
• Bank account must match Aadhaar name for DBT benefits
• Keep your Aadhaar updated — e-Shram depends on Aadhaar data for name, address, and photo

• Save your UAN — you'll need it for all future interactions
