Social Security Board planned for gig and unorganised workers
In short
India’s National Social Security Board will design, monitor and recommend welfare schemes for unorganised, gig and platform workers. The report names Swiggy, Zomato and other gig workers, but it does not give a start date or say exactly what benefits will come.
This could matter for delivery and platform workers if pension or insurance support is added. The size of the benefits and when they begin are not stated.
What the reporting says
India’s National Social Security Board is set to design, monitor and recommend targeted welfare schemes for unorganised, gig and platform workers, including workers at Swiggy and Zomato. The reporting does not specify the schemes, funding, or rollout timing. The immediate consequence is a potential framework for pension and insurance-style support, but the details are still unknown.
Why it matters
India’s National Social Security Board is reported to be taking up welfare design, monitoring and recommendations for unorganised, gig and platform workers, including those at Swiggy and Zomato. The source points to possible pension and insurance benefits, but gives no official scheme details, cost, or rollout timeline. The main impact would be on informal workers and the platform economy, though the exact policy outcome remains unknown.
