Key Highlights

  • TGPWU president Shaik Salauddin said, “The move recognises the economic vulnerabilities of gig, platform and domestic workers.
  • It also encourages their entrepreneurial journeys.
  • Access to small, collateral-free credit can play a transformative role in promoting self-employment, livelihood security and financial inclusion for workers who are often excluded from formal banking systems.” The union hoped that the scheme, once finalised, would be implemented in a transparent manner and prove worker-friendly with minimal documentation requirement.
