What is ELI scheme?

In the Union Budget 2024, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the Employment-Linked Incentive (ELI) scheme. The aim of this scheme was to increase employment and encourage companies to hire new employees. The government has divided this scheme into three parts.

Scheme A: Under this scheme, companies will get a subsidy of ₹ 15,000 on hiring new graduates, which will be given in three installments. This is likely to provide employment to 30 lakh youth.

Scheme B: This is specifically for the manufacturing sector. In this, companies will get Rs 3,000 per employee monthly for two years on new recruitments. For eligibility, companies have been asked to add 50 new employees or increase the workforce by 25%.

Scheme C: This scheme will provide general incentives for increasing the workforce in different industries. There is not much information about it and it will be developed further.

Why is it necessary to activate and link UAN?
