The Labour Ministry of India is contemplating a multi-manager model for its upcoming social security scheme designed for gig and platform workers. This approach aims to accommodate the expected growth in beneficiaries, which could exceed the capacity of a single fund manager. One potential manager under consideration is the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), which might oversee provident fund contributions and disbursements. Additionally, pension management could be outsourced to other fund managers. Currently, the Life Insurance Corporation of India manages the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan scheme, which offers a pension to unorganised sector workers. To support the new programme, a social security fund will be established, funded by contributions from the Centre, states, aggregators, gig workers, and corporate social responsibility funds. A report from Niti Aayog predicts that the number of gig and platform workers in India will rise to 23.5 million by 2029-30, up from 7.7 million in 2020-21.
