Our Assessment

PMSBY/e-Shram accident cover of Rs 2 lakh can cover eligible unorganised workers, but I did not verify a state driver/handyman-specific insurance programme. The benefit amount exists through broader national accident-insurance channels, but the targeted professional-driver/handyman promise is not fully evidenced. Budget: PMSBY/e-Shram insurance mechanism exists; no state driver-specific allocation found.
