💨 Abstract

Karnataka announces plans to set up a welfare board for gig workers, aiming to ensure fair wages, safety, and social protection. The move will be funded by a 5% cess on companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Ola, Uber, and others. However, app-based service providers express skepticism, citing difficulties in catering to state-specific laws and the lack of a uniform national law on the issue.
