flag India urges gig platforms to register workers for social security benefits.

flag An Indian parliamentary panel has recommended mandatory registration of gig workers on the national e-Shram portal to expand access to social security, urging platforms like Swiggy, Zomato, and Ola to register their workers. flag The Standing Committee on Labour called for platforms to contribute to social security funds, with registration valid for at least a year even after leaving a platform, ensuring continued benefits like insurance and accident cover. flag The move aims to integrate millions of gig workers into formal labor protections amid rapid growth of India’s gig economy, projected to employ up to 23.5 million people.
