On 1 June 2026, the Ministry of Labour & Employment issued a directive regarding the mandatory onboarding of online aggregators on the eShram portal<\/span>. This initiative aims to strengthen social security coverage for workers in the platform economy, especially gig and platform workers, by integrating them into a formal framework.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/h3>\n

On 21 November 2025, the Code on Social Security, 2020<\/span> was implemented, under which the Central Government is empowered to frame social security schemes<\/span> for such workers.<\/p>\n

Further, under Rule 48(2) of the Social Security Rules, 2026<\/span>, aggregators are required to share worker-related data electronically with the Government within 45 days of the commencement of the Rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

To facilitate aggregator participation, the Ministry launched a dedicated Aggregator Module on 12 December 2024<\/span> for streamlined onboarding on the eShram portal.<\/p>\n

The onboarding and API integration process is already underway, and 15 major aggregators<\/span>, including Zomato, Blinkit, Swiggy, Uber, Ola, Rapido, Amazon, Zepto, Urban Company, and Porter<\/span> have been onboarded.<\/p>\n
