Rajasthan has been introducing various progressive laws and acts for the benefit of employees. Not long ago, the Rajasthan Platform Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Act, 2023, was rolled out to offer social security to gig workers. The Act creates a regulatory framework for aggregators and has been welcomed by those working in the unorganized sector.
The legislation was passed on 24 July 2023. However, the Act does not recognise gig workers as employees, which deprives them of benefits such as ESI and provident fund.
