Circular summary
What the circular says
What was announced
The Ministry of Labour and Employment announced the constitution of the National Social Security Board for unorganised workers and a board for gig and platform workers under the Code on Social Security, 2020. The Press Information Bureau release describes the boards as forums for advice and recommendations on social security measures. It identifies representation from the Union government, states, workers and employers, along with other stakeholders.
What employers should take from this
This is an institutional announcement. It should not be read as a new contribution rate, a filing requirement, or an immediate change to payroll calculations. Employers working with gig or platform workers should monitor the schemes and implementation notices that follow. Any operational duty must be assessed against the relevant notified provision and scheme, its commencement date and its stated applicability. Existing obligations remain subject to the rules that currently apply to each establishment and workforce.
