What happened

The Centre established National Social Security Boards for unorganised, gig, and platform workers under the Code on Social Security, 2020. These boards are mandated to advise the government on social security measures for these worker categories. The boards have a three-year tenure, and Section 114(6) requires them to discharge functions for gig and platform workers.
