The Ministry of Labour and Employment has allocated a sum of ₹402.7 crores for the implementation of the project in two phases.
[5] Therefore, to provide the social security benefits the Government of India had enacted the unorganised workers’ Social Security Act in 2008, to create a right-based legal framework for providing the social security framework to the least benefited unorganised sector workers.
Under this act the provision of UWIN is made to provide these workers with all the social security benefits.

[7] According to the expectation of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the national database of unorganised workers shall cover 675 districts in 29 states and 7 union territories and will be useful for other ministries to provide benefits to the workers under the social security schemes.
