Income falls before you are ready
Ratings, night shifts and physically hard slots quietly stop coming. Earnings drop years before any pension age.
Platform work does not come with a pension, an accident cover or a grievance officer who answers. SilverShift gives an older gig worker three things in one place — a savings cushion that builds itself, work from employers who do not filter you out by age, and clear answers about the welfare you already qualify for.
No card. No commitment. Large text on by default.

Ratings, night shifts and physically hard slots quietly stop coming. Earnings drop years before any pension age.
e-Shram, state gig-worker boards and accident cover are real. Most eligible workers never register, or register and never claim.
Without cover, a hospital week becomes a loan at 3–5% a month, repaid out of daily earnings that are already shrinking.
Round up every day's earnings into a savings cushion, and layer accident cover and pension on top.
Age-friendly, low-strain work from employers who pledge no age filter — filtered by city and physical strain.
Know your entitlements, register for e-Shram, and generate a grievance draft when a platform deactivates you unfairly.

Keep three things ready
Aadhaar-linked mobile number, a bank account number with IFSC, and your Aadhaar number. Nothing else is needed.
Open the official e-Shram portal

If your mobile is not linked to Aadhaar, visit any CSC centre — biometric registration is free there.
Choose the correct occupation code
Pick 'Transport worker', 'Delivery worker' or 'Domestic worker' as it applies. This decides which welfare board can reach you.
Download and save your UAN card
Save the PDF and note the 12-digit UAN. Most state welfare schemes ask for it.
Then check your state welfare board
Several states run a separate gig-worker welfare board with its own benefits on top of e-Shram.

No. SilverShift is a savings-habit ledger, a work feed and a legal-information layer. Insurance and pension enrolment is done with regulated partners on their own platforms; we guide you there and track the status.
No. SilverShift gives legal information and generates document drafts. Dare to Law is not a law firm. Anything you intend to file can be sent for review by an independent empanelled advocate, whose professional fee is disclosed separately.
A basic smartphone is enough. Everything is in large, high-contrast text and works in Hindi and English, and large-text mode is switched on by default for every SilverShift account.
The full e-Shram and welfare registration checklist, the entitlement explainer, read access to the age-friendly job feed, and three AI entitlement questions a month. No card needed.
Under the same DPDP Act 2023 posture as the rest of Dare to Law: we store only what eligibility and contact need, your wallet and enrolment rows are row-level-scoped to you alone, and we never display your date of birth back to anyone — only an age band.
SilverShift provides legal information and document automation only. This is not legal advice, and Dare to Law is not a law firm. Anything you intend to file should be reviewed by a licensed advocate — you can request that review from this screen.
This is legal information, not legal advice. Every binding document is reviewed and signed by one of our independent, empanelled advocates before dispatch — no single advocate is being advertised or solicited on this platform (Advocates Act 1961 · BCI Rule 36).
