Social Security Code (SS Code) 2020
Important Concerns:
Online Registration Process:
The onus lies on informal workers registering as beneficiaries, further they do not have digital literacy and connectivity.
Also, there is a lack of awareness among informal workers regarding social security schemes.
Lack of Inter-State Arrangement and Cooperation:
Unorganised workers are spread across the length and breadth of India. Implications of this code would be too varied across States to be administered.
Complicated Processes & Overlapping Jurisdiction:
Providing holistic social security cover for the unorganised workforce in a simple and effective manner is lost in the Centre-State procedural complications and jurisdictional or institutional overlap.
Maternity Benefit:
Women engaged in the unorganised sector remain outside the purview of maternity benefit.
Employees Provident Fund:
For informal sector workers, access to employees’ providentfund remains unfulfilled too in the new code.
Payment of Gratuity:
Although payment of gratuity was expanded in the new Code, it still remains inaccessible for a vast majority of informal workers.
