Abstract
This policy submission by the Centre for Labour Studies, NLSIU provides a critical analysis of the Draft Karnataka Platform-based Gig Workers Rules, 2025, targeting structural gaps that grant excessive discretionary powers to aggregators. The document recommends establishing a fixed 5% welfare fee on transaction earnings, ensuring statutory algorithmic transparency with a right to contest automated terminations, and replacing ambiguous dispute resolution terms with strict 15-day binding orders. Furthermore, it calls for linking platform pay structures with the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, defining reasonable working conditions to include rest facilities, and resolving jurisdictional conflicts regarding the fine-imposition powers of the welfare board.
