In the Union Budget 2025, which of the following has been announced for Gig Workers in India? I. e-Shram registration II. Healthcare security under PM Jan Arogya Yojana
Both I and II
Gig and platform workers, such as delivery riders and app-based cab drivers, work outside the traditional employer-employee relationship and have long lacked formal social security.
The Union Budget 2025 specifically announced welfare measures to bring this group into the social-security net.
Statement I is correct: gig workers were to be registered on the e-Shram portal, the national database of unorganised workers, and issued identity cards. This registration formally records them and links them to benefits.
Statement II is also correct: the Budget extended healthcare coverage to these workers under the PM Jan Arogya Yojana (Ayushman Bharat), which provides cashless hospitalisation cover.
Since both the identity/registration measure and the healthcare-security measure were announced together, both statements hold true.
"Only I" and "Only II" each ignore one of the two announced benefits, and "Neither I nor II" is wrong because both were in fact declared.
Therefore, the correct answer is Both I and II.
