Register Now, Reap Later: Gig Workers' Budget Bonanza

Indian gig workers are being urged to get registered on the e-Shram portal to receive benefits declared in the Union Budget 2025-26. They are entitled to identity cards and health insurance under Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), which covers up to ₹5 lakh per year towards hospitalization. Registration will help them get formal recognition and avail themselves of these social security schemes. Ministry of Labour and Employment is making it easier to implement the budget provisions at an early stage.
