Abstract
This policy submission provides a critical analysis of the Draft Karnataka Domestic Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Bill, 2025, targeting structural gaps that place administrative burdens on vulnerable workers rather than employers. The document recommends moving mandatory worker registration updates to an employer-driven portal, expanding definitions of domestic work to include migrant trafficking protections, and establishing clear statutory limits of 8-hour workdays alongside double-rate overtime pay. Furthermore, it demands the legal inclusion of annual bonuses, safe drinking water, and washroom access, while correcting critical funding terminology to ensure the welfare fund survives constitutional litigation challenges.
