If you are an private  sector worker and your monthly income is less than Rs. 15 thousand then there is good news for you. You can register on the e-labor portal. This can free you from the worries of expenses during any accident or illness. After registration on e-labor portal, workers will be entitled to two lakh insurance in case of accident. They will also join the Ayushman Yojana, which provides health protection to the family up to Rs. 5 lakhs annually. Not only that, in case of emergency, government assistance will also be available. The helpline number 14434 can be contacted for any assistance. Complaints can be lodged through the portal www.gms.eshram.gov.in. 

Unorganized workers include construction workers, domestic workers, rickshaw pullers, peddlers, migrants and platform workers, agricultural workers, MGNREGA workers and all kinds of workers whose monthly income is less than Rs. 15,000.
