Wait 5 sec.

In a significant move, gig and platform workers will soon be required to log a minimum number of working days to qualify for social security benefits. Proposed regulations indicate a threshold of 90 days with a single aggregator or 120 days across various platforms each year. This initiative is designed to integrate workers into essential programs like Ayushman Bharat.
