Karnataka is the second state government to offer gig workers in the state social security totaling Rs 4 lakh, comprising of Rs 2 lakh for accidental insurance and Rs 1 lakh for life protection. Regarding the projected number of gig workers in the state, the Karnataka government has depended on the NITI Ayog Report 2022. According to the Government Order (GO), gig workers who have worked for a year and are between the ages of 18 and 60 are eligible for the social security programme. The cost of hospitalisation for a gig worker will be covered up to Rs 1 lakh. The gig workers must register for this plan on the Seva Sindhu portal by providing their information, which includes a passport-size photo, an EShramik card, proof of address, and bank account information. This scheme won't be eligible for gig workers with a provident fund, ESI, or income tax payees. There are certain exceptions regarding the system provided to gig workers.
