The Indian government is considering the announcement of a social security fund for workers in the unorganised sector and gig/platform workers in the upcoming interim budget. The fund, proposed in the Social Security Code, 2020, aims to provide universal social security for workers. The government has collected data on over 293.3 million unorganised workers through the e-Shram portal, allowing for quick implementation of benefits. The plan involves consolidating existing social security schemes under one umbrella and channeling benefits through the Social Security Fund.
