Verification of LIN 

Every organisation registered on the Shram Suvidha Portal is assigned a Labour Identification Number. The procedures for this adjustment and LIN verification through the Shram Suvidha Portal are listed below: 

1. Registration of the company or the employer at the Shram Suvidha Portal is the first step in such verification and change. 
2. After registering, the user must check the portal to see if their LIN is already there. The 'Know Your LON option' offered at the portal can be used to accomplish this. 
3. In the event that the LIN is already in existence, it must be linked to the institution by selecting the 'Link institution' option. 
4. The user can construct owned or represented organisations and then request the LIN through the 'Establishment' option available in the menu of the portal after logging in, if the LIN is not already available on the portal. 

How to link a firm or an establishment to an Account 

The portal enables users to connect a business to a LIN. To represent the business on the Shram Suvidha Portal and to represent the entity that is currently being served by another employer or agency, this is necessary. 

Given below are the steps you need to follow to complete the registration process: 

1. The first step in the process is to access the portal and log in with your credentials. Once logged in, you can search for the Labor Identification Number (LIN) of the entity you wish to link to your establishment. The portal provides a "Know Your LIN" option in the settings on the main page, which allows you to check the Establishment LIN. 
2. To proceed further, you need to log in to your Shram Suvidha Account using your User ID, Password, and Verification Code. After entering these details, click on the "Submit" option. 
3. Once you are logged into your Shram Suvidha Account, you will find the "Link Establishment" option. Clicking on this option will bring up a form where you need to enter the LIN and the contact details of the previous representative associated with that establishment. These contact details include the registered mobile number and email ID. 

1. In cases where there is no registered mobile number or former representative, you can still fill in the LIN and select the "Generation Authorization Letter" option. Following this, you will need to obtain the generated letter from the above step and approach the regional head as instructed. 
2. In summary, the process involves logging into the portal, searching for the LIN, entering login details, linking the establishment, providing contact details, and following the necessary steps to complete the process, including obtaining an authorization letter if required. 
3. Regenerate response 

Such user can observe a rise in the amount of entities or establishments that have been linked or represented once the Labour Identification Number (LIN) is linked with the establishment data. Such details can be found on the establishment's home page in the establishment list.
