Government of India Streamlines BOCW Registration in 2026 with Mandatory eShram Linkage & Digital Compliance

Noida, Uttar Pradesh 2026

The Central Government of India introduced major changes to the BOCW (Building and Other Construction Workers) Registration system in 2026 that focus mainly on a digital way of doing things, authentication based on Aadhaar, and compulsory eShram linkage. The idea behind these reforms is to make online registration hassle-free, speed up labour card issuing, and get the eligible construction workers' welfare benefits on time.

To increase compliance and support the new technology, based platforms, employers, and workers have to follow stricter rules to get a BOCW Certificate and to keep it valid.

Key 2026 Updates in BOCW Registration

Compulsory eShram Linkage

The workers must be registered on the eShram portal and have a Universal Account Number (UAN) to apply for Bocw Registration in most states.

Aadhaar-Based Authentication

All new registrations and renewals are Aadhaar-authenticated, which ensures transparency and prevents duplicate registrations.

Completely Digital Registration Process

The state labor boards, such as UPBOCW, Maharashtra BOCW, Rajasthan Bocw, Gujarat Bocw, and Delhi e-District portals, now provide completely digital registration, renewal, document upload, and status checks.

Employer Compliance Reinforced

The employers must register their establishments with the State Labour Welfare Board. Failure to do so will result in penalties and the loss of benefits for the workers.

Documentation Simplified

The following documents are required for registration:

1. Aadhaar Card
2. 90-day work certificate (or self-declaration, if applicable)
3. Bank account details
