No one will be denied benefits for want of Aadhaar, say Labour Secretary
The Ministry of Labour and Employment will soon start collecting the Aadhaar details of workers in the unorganised sector for implementation of future social security schemes, though no one will be denied benefits for the lack of Aadhaar, Labour Secretary Apurva Chandra said on Wednesday.
The Ministry on Monday notified Section 142 of the Code on Social Security, 2020, which enables the government to collect Aadhaar data of workers for its national database of unorganised workers.

Once implemented, the Code will allow social security benefits to be extended to the large unorganised sector, the government has said.
