The Government of Karnataka, on March 26, 2026, issued a notification finalizing the Karnataka Platform-Based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare Development) Rules, 2025, after considering objections and suggestions received on the draft published earlier in June 2025.
The rules, framed under section 28 of the Karnataka Platform-Based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare Development) Act, 2025, provide the operational framework for implementation of welfare measures for platform-based gig workers. They define key authorities such as the Appellate Authority, Grievance Redressal Officer, Chairman, and authorized persons responsible for handling appeals and grievances under the scheme.
The rules aim to strengthen social security coverage, grievance redressal mechanisms, and institutional governance for gig workers engaged through digital platforms. They will come into force from the date of their final publication in the Official Gazette.
