The Rajasthan Platform Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Act, 2023 is a proposed law in the Indian state of Rajasthan that aims to provide social security and welfare benefits to gig workers. The bill defines gig workers as individuals who are engaged in work through online platforms on a piece-rate basis, and includes a wide range of workers such as food delivery drivers, ride-hailing drivers, home-based workers, and others.

The bill provides for a number of benefits for gig workers, including:

  • Social security benefits: The bill provides for a number of social security benefits for gig workers, such as health insurance, pension, and maternity benefits.
  • Grievance redressal mechanism: The bill also establishes a grievance redressal mechanism for gig workers, through which they can file complaints about non-payment of wages, discrimination, and other issues.
  • Registration and welfare board: The bill establishes a Rajasthan Platform Based Gig Workers Welfare Board, which will be responsible for implementing the provisions of the bill and providing welfare services to gig workers.

The Rajasthan Platform Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Act, 2023 is a significant step forward in the protection of the rights of gig workers in India. The bill provides for a number of important benefits for gig workers, and its passage would be a major victory for the gig economy workforce.
