💨 Abstract

The Indian government is preparing to provide health insurance coverage of Rs 5 lakh to gig workers and their families under Ayushman Bharat. This comes as India's gig and platform economy is projected to employ over one crore workers by 2024-25, and recognizing their contribution, the Union Budget announced provisions for registration, identity cards, and healthcare coverage for these workers.
