Govt orders gig aggregators to register workers on portal within 45 days or pay 12% interest

The deadline is tight and penalties stack up fast

The government has mandated that gig aggregators register workers by uploading their details to a central portal within 45 days under the Code on Social Security, 2020. If social security contributions are delayed, a 12% annual interest charge applies. The new compliance rules also require real-time recording of worker appointments and exits, tightening monitoring and reporting.
