India drafts rules for gig workers’ social security, requiring 90–120 workdays annually to qualify for benefits, with public comments open ahead of April 2026 rollout.
India has released draft rules for its new Social Security Code, requiring gig and platform workers to complete at least 90 days of work with a single aggregator or 120 days across multiple platforms in a financial year to qualify for benefits like health, life, and accident insurance, and potential pension schemes.
Workdays are counted per calendar day based on earned income, regardless of amount, and multiple platforms on the same day count cumulatively.
Workers must register via the e-Shram portal using Aadhaar, and aggregators must submit worker data to a central portal.
Benefits lapse at age 60 or if work thresholds aren’t met.
The draft is open for public comment, with final rules pending approval before nationwide implementation on April 1, 2026.
