The Rajasthan Assembly passed a bill for the formation of a welfare board as well as a fund for platform-based gig workers in the state and to facilitate social security for them.
The Platform-Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Bill, 2023, was passed in the Assembly without a debate amid uproar by the opposition members in the House.
Aggregators, which include food delivery apps and e-marketing platforms, must provide the Rajasthan government with a database of all platform-based gig workers on-boarded or registered with them within sixty days of the Act’s implementation.
Gig worker refers to someone who earns from such activities outside of the traditional employer-employee relationship and who works on a contract.
