Want Budget benefits? Gig workers must do this now
Ministry of Labour and Employment has called on platform workers to register on the e-Shram portal to access benefits announced in the Union Budget 2025-26.
A gig worker is someone who takes on short-term jobs, often for multiple service providers or aggregators. Recognising their contribution to the economy, the government has introduced measures to support them, including online registration, identity cards, and healthcare coverage under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY).
The AB-PMJAY scheme offers ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation at over 31,000 public and private empanelled hospitals across India.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment will soon roll out the scheme to implement these budget provisions at the earliest. As a first step, platform workers are urged to self-register on the e-Shram portal to be considered for benefits as soon as the scheme launches.
“The Platform aggregators are also to disseminate this information among the platform workers engaged with them and facilitate them to register on the e-Shram portal," the ministry said.
