India Proposes 90-Day Work Threshold for Gig Worker Social Security Benefits

India's draft Social Security Code proposes that gig and platform workers must work at least 90 days in a financial year with a single aggregator, or 120 days cumulatively across multiple platforms, to be eligible for social security benefits. These benefits could include health, life, and personal accident insurance, with potential future pension eligibility based on contributions. Registration on the 'e-Shram' portal and Aadhaar-linked details are required for eligible workers aged 16 and above.
