Section-I
Introduction
With enactment of the Unorganised Workers' Social Security Act,2008,
Government of India has created a right-based legal framework for providing
social security benefits to the workers in the unorganised sector, that
accounts for about 39 crores, which is 88o/o of the total workforce of the
country. Under this Act, a nationally portable smart identity card shall be
issued by the District Administration, which in turn will provide access to all
social security schemes anywhere anytime. Ministry of Labour & Employment
IMoLE) being the administrative Ministry is mandated to provide technical
support and guidelines for conduct of registration of unorganised workers
and issuance of social securiw cards to each of them.
2.
Government oflndia has decided to launch the revamped RSBY as a part
of the ambitious NHAM between 20-26th May, 201,5 and issue new social
security cards during the ceremony. This new card will take over the role of
existing RSBY cards and entitle the beneficiary to avail benefits under all
welfare schemes meant for the unorganised workers including RSBY. On this
backdrop, several preparatory steps have been taken by both Union and State
governments to launch the registration and card issuance jobs at district
levels on May Day, i.e. lst May,2015 through a national campaign, to be led by
respective state Chief Ministers/Lt. Governors [UT).
Page 3 of 13
3.
To support the national campaign on sustainable basis, MoLE vide its
Order dated 22/04/2015, constituted an Inter-Ministerial Group (lMG)
consisting of representative of such ministries and departments/authorities
that have a pivotal role in matters relating to (a) prescribe the technical
guidelines for registration and issuance of social security card to unorganised
workers; (b) Oversee the IT part of the project at the national level; (c) Sort
out accessibility issues with database maintained by other Ministries; and (dJ
Oversee the entire process of registration and issuance of smart cards and
operations of various software.
4. First Meeting of the Inter-Ministerial
Group [lMG) was held on
24/04/1.5 under the Chairmanship of Secretary (L&E). The IMG deliberated
on matters relating to Database to be used, Development of Software, Quality
of card & chip, Fascia of Smart Card, Operational Guidelines to be issued to
States/District Collectors including Smart Cards procurement options, Multilingual Call Centre, software for WFC and Creation of organizational set-up rn
MoLE comprising of domain experts and core technical staff. On the basis of
the recommendations of IMG and consultations with State Governments,
MoLE has prepared the Standard Operating Procedures (SOpJ for the
States/UTAs/District Administration as indicated in the Executive Order
dated 13th April, 2015.
The detailed Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures are laid down in
Section II.

Section-II
The national campaign shall be an awareness and sensitization drive on
matters of social security entitlements of workforce in the unorganised sector
in India as defined under the UWSS Act, 2008. So far as UOWs are concerned,
there is no territorial or domicile / citizenship restrictions under the Act. For
the purpose of operational convenience, the campaign shall be carried out in
two phases:
Phase-1: 1st May, 2015 to 30th fune, 2015 (For RSBY Districts)
Phase-2: 15th August to 3ott' September, 2015 (For Non-RSBY and
new registration in RSBY districts)
[ii) During phase-1, the existing RSBY database shall be used to generate
multi-app, portable smart social security identity cards for the unorganised
workers which will mostly cover UOWs of BPL and 11 occupational groups.
Aadhar authentication/seeding shall happen in camps to be organized by
district administrations and existing RSBY smart card software will be
tweaked and used for the new social security card, often described as UWIN
cards. The four fields in the Machine Inspection Zone (MIZ) of the existing
smart card software earmarked for social security schemes will continue to be
used as before and MoHFW will continue to be the major user. This approach
will eliminate possibility of disruption of services.
(iiiJ In phase-2 of the campaign, the volume of operation will be scaled up to
cover all other UOWs; and hence the SECC database maintained by
RGl/Ministry of Rural Development will be used with Aadhar-seeding. During
this phase, most of the Cards will be printed in bulk quantity by electronic
Page 5 of 13

seeding ofAadhar without physical presence ofthe worker and hence camps
will deal with a few left out cases; but the activities will mostly focus on
identification and distribution of printed cards. Collectors will also have the
option to utilise the village panchayats for delivery of cards without resorting
to camp approach. In such scenario the isolated left-out cases can be dealt by
WFCs.
Technical Guidelines
1. Registrationr
Registration of UOW is the responsibility of District Administration. The
process will result in the creation of a national Database of Unorganised
Workers. Social SecuriW database shall have the family structure of
unorganised workers.
7.7.
Districts that have implemented RSBY at least once have the
database of BPL and 11 occupational groups eligible for RSBY. This data
was prepared by States in MS Access format of RSBY and called the preenrolment data. And was uploaded on the MoLE central server by State
Nodal Agencies of RSBY. MoLE then generated the URN (Unique
Relationship NumberJ for each family. This used to be downloaded by
Insurers and then Insurers carried out enrolment and issued Family based
Smart Card to Head of Family of Unorganised Workers eligible for RSBY.
The same modality shall be followed for the UWIN database; but with
aadhar and TIN seeding. Once the RSBY data is seeded with Aadhar and
TIN of SECC, it will be uploaded to MoLE server through FTP. MoLE will
process it and generate unique registration number called Social Security
Identity ISSID) and a barcode. MoLE has the option to use the Aadhar
Number as SSID or generate another unique identification number and
thereafter, this data will be called Enrolment Data. The District Collectors
are authorised to download the enrolment data and carry out registration
process. While doing so, it shall be ensured that the entitlement of the
family is equitably split preferably with consent of the family in case the
members stay in different work stations and such split value is loaded to
the entitlement segment in each SS card.

1.2.
This process will NOT apoly to green field districts where RSBy
was never implemented and those where RSBy was implemented but
lapsed or discontinued. These would be taken up during the phase II of the
campaign for which separate guidelines will follow.
2. Specifications
ofSmart Card:
2.1 Software to be used: Enrolment & Card Issuance System(ECISJ to
be
provided by NIC.
2.2 Fascia & posterior (front & back) appearance of the Card: Visual
Inspection Zone (YIZ) shall have: Card name, logo, chip, photo, name,
mother's name, DOB/Age, gender, Aadhaar number and unique ID, Issuing
Authority and Call Centre number. This will be defined and built-in with
the ECIS & Key Management Software [KMS) and appear automatically.
2.3 Data in the Chip: Data in the Chip will be stored in the Machine
Inspection Zone (MIZ) and shall have segments such as identity,
entitlements and transaction record. These will be defined by software.
2.4 Quality of Card: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthlate Glycol-Modified)
sheet card
2.5 Chip specification: 64 KB OEM Chip, Electrically
Erasable
Programmable Read-Only Memory (EzPROMI non-flash type.
3.
Supply of Smart Card and Printing:
Three CPSUs (BEL, ITL and ECIL) have a Cost-plus model approved by Gol.
State Governments are free to either place direct orders on the CPSUs or
go for open tender with the specification prescribed at2.3 & 2.4 above. In
case of open tender by States, MoLE may engage a CERTIFICATION
AGENCY for ensuring quality.
3,1 In case of contingency where cards may be required to be printed in
urgency, District Collectors may use their discretion to utilise the facilities
available with Insurance Companies or their vendors who printed the
RSBY smart cards and pay them an amount not exceeding { 30 per card
subject to compliance of the technical speciflcations given at para 2. But
WFC of the district headquarters should have the permanent facility to
print smart cards for the purpose of replacement/splitting etc. State
Governments can have Rate Contract arrangement with service
providers/suppliers.

[N.8. ECIS works on specific printers and Finger print devices. Models of
these printers/FP devices are mentioned at Annexure]
3.2 District authority shall issue up to three (3) SS/UWIN
cards
against one RSBY card. If the number of workers in the family is more
than three, then particular persons to be registered in the 1't phase shall
be indicated by the Head of Family (HOF). The remaining workers will be
enrolled during the second phase of the campaign, for which separate
guidelines would follow.
3.3 District authority shall maintain
a proper account of the RSBy cards
against which SS/UWIN cards were issued. The claims for reimbursement
from GOI shall be based on this account.
4.
Modality for issue of Smart Card:
District Collector/Dy Commissioner shall be the authority to issue the
cards after seeding of Aadhar and after online authentication of data in
special camps. State may select UIDAI registered Agencies for participating
in each camp.
4.1 Enrolment Camps will be organised by District Administration
considering the fact that location of such camps will be at places where
online Aadhar authentication is possible. Enough Information-EducationCommunication (IECJ would be carried out to spread awareness among
the Unorganised Workers. Each camp will should have two sets of
counters: one for enrolment/registration and printing of cards and other
for UIDAI for Aadhaar. The first set should have besides the basic
hardware, tablets with QR and biometric reader.
4.2 Enrolment agencies would use Software provided by MoLE that has
plug in for online authentication with Aadhar database. When unorganised
worker would come to camp, the Enrolment Agenry (EA) would search for
family and fill up basic details if not complete in existing data of family.
Family member would authenticate details by providing his/her finger
prints which would be authenticated with Aadhar database online/offline
for correctness. In this process, the details like name, age/dob, sex, and
photo will be captured and superimposed on existing details in database of
family. Thereafter, card will be printed and given to Unorganised Worker.
State Government may, at its discretion, collect t 30/- per card or waive, if
it so choses.

4.3 Lifecycle Management of Smart Cards: There shall be a permanent
administrative structure
in
to
the district
deal with the lifecycle
management of smart cards issued. Ideally this job should be assigned to
the WFC.
4,4
Status of RSBY smart cards after issue of SS/UWIN cards: To
facilitate seamless transition, the existing valid RSBy policy cards will
continue to be used until deactivated by MoLE. District authorities shall
ensure that the expired RSBY cards are deposited with them, before issue
of SS/UWIN cards.
4.5 Process flow to integrate SS/UWIN in RSBy Enrolment Software:
1. Download RSBY (Pre-enrolment
2.
data district wise) from the existing RSBy
website. Additionally UWIN also be pre-generated by MoLE for each worker.
ECIS: On the basis ofURN (On providing RSBY card physicallyJ pre-filled
enrolled form with the demographic details will be generated automatically
by the software.
3. ECIS: the operator will ask additional information like mother name, income,
declarations, EID/Bank A/c no and enter those in the database.
4. ECIS: In case ofAadhar number of HOF is available the QR code from the
Aadhar card will be scanned and the entire field will be populated in the
database from this data.
5. The data read from QR information will be super-imposed over RSBY data in
case there is any discrepancy.
6, Based on this data, smart card will be personalized and verification will be
done using Field Key Officer (FKO) card.
7. ECIS: In case Aadhar is not available, only paper/receipt will be given. The
data for registering Aadhar will be captured and EID number will be provided
on paper card. In this case, beneficiary will be informed to come at a later
date/venue for capturing finger print and get UWIN card.
B. In addition to the existing fields, some extra fields are to be printed, the
printer component of ECIS will be modified in such a way that at least 3
printers will be compatible with the software.
9. Smart card will be printed and given on spot to beneficiary.
10. At the end of every day the operator
will update UWIN server with encrypted
card details in batch mode.

schemes including the SS (UWINJ cards.
5.1
Apart from administrative support, States/UTAs will be required
to provide budgetary ouflay for the district level campaign including the
cost of the smart card plus the administrative costs for holding of camps. If
the State Government so decides, it may create necessary Administrative
mechanism to collect the cost of the card by way of registration charges
from the beneficiaries, which would defray part cost of the cards. State
Government has to have the budget head under CSP to receive Central
Government assistance for the smart cards.
5.2
All State Governments/UTAs may need to either float tenders for
the card supply and printing or tie up with CPSUs such as BEL, ECIL & ITIL.
5.3
State Governments/UTAs shall intensely monitor the progress of
the campaign led by the District Collectors and take steps to set up
Worker's Facilitation Centers (WFCI, if not done so far.
5.4
States/UTAs may plan the campaign in such a manner so as to be
able to issue new UWIN cards under the provisions of UWSS Act, 2008 by
the 20th of May 2015.
