Benefits for gig workers may trickle in before social security code launch

The government may introduce social security benefits for gig workers ahead of the implementation of the Social Security Code. Some states have already implemented similar provisions in their local laws. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has approached aggregators operating gig work platforms to prepare for extending social security benefits. The ministry will also write to states to expedite the enrollment of platform workers on the e-Shram portal. States like Karnataka, Telangana, and Rajasthan are already offering health insurance and other benefits to gig workers. The NITI Aayog estimates that India's gig worker population will triple by 2029-30. Under the proposed policy, aggregators will contribute 1-2% of their revenue to a social security fund.
