📖What is UP Shramik Card (Labour Card) — Registration & Benefits?
UP Shramik Card (officially: Uttar Pradesh Building & Other Construction Workers Welfare Board registration) is a welfare registration for construction workers in UP. Once registered and your annual subscription (₹60/year) is paid, you become eligible for 15+ welfare schemes: daughter's marriage assistance (₹55,000), maternity benefit (₹12,000), education assistance for children, medical treatment aid, pension (₹1,000/month after 60), housing assistance (₹25,000), disability compensation, death benefit (₹2 lakh), and more.
The card is specifically for workers engaged in construction and related activities: masons, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters, laborers, bar benders, stone workers, tile layers, and 40+ other construction-related occupations. You must have worked in construction for at least 90 days in the last year to be eligible.
Registration is online at upbocw.in. After filling the form and uploading documents, verification is done by the Labour Department. Once approved, you receive a Shramik Card (Labour Card) number. Annual renewal requires paying ₹60 subscription fee — if not renewed, benefits are suspended.
This is one of the most comprehensive state-level worker welfare programs in India. A single registration unlocks benefits worth potentially ₹1-2 lakh over a lifetime — for a ₹60/year subscription. Yet many eligible workers don't know about it or haven't registered.
