India’s new labour codes give gig and platform workers formal recognition and portable social-security benefits through the e-Shram portal. Aggregators must contribute 1–2% of their turnover to a Social Security Fund that will provide accident, health, and maternity benefits. Workers will receive an Aadhaar-linked ID ensuring portability across platforms. The codes also introduce grievance-redressal mechanisms, aiming to make gig work more secure and legally protected.
