India unveils social security for gig and platform workers
May 29, 2026
To get these perks, companies need to link their workers’ information with the e-Shram portal by June 22.
The Social Security Fund will also be operationalised to finance welfare schemes.
Plus, once connected to e-Shram, gig workers can track their entitlements through an app, making it way easier to see what you’re owed as the gig economy keeps growing.
