Industry body IAMAI highlights drawbacks in Karnataka gig workers’ bill

The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has expressed concerns about the draft Karnataka Platform-based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Bill, 2024 introduced by the state government. IAMAI believes that the bill could hinder the ease of doing business in the state. The bill aims to provide social security benefits to gig workers and protect them from arbitrary termination. IAMAI argues that the bill would lead to a duplication of contributions already covered by the central government's Code on Social Security (CoSS), 2020. The organization also raises concerns about administrative burdens, increased expenses, lack of clarity on benefits, and potential negative impacts on competition and demand for gig work.
