India's Labour Ministry plans to let EPFO subscribers withdraw funds via ATMs and extend social security to gig workers.

The Indian Labour Ministry is upgrading its IT systems to enhance services for the workforce, including allowing EPFO subscribers to withdraw provident funds via ATMs starting next year. The ministry also aims to extend social security benefits to gig workers, such as health coverage and financial support for disabilities, with a committee working on a framework for these benefits. Over 70 million EPFO contributors will benefit from these improvements.
