Correct Answer :   Karnataka


Karnataka has introduced the Karnataka Platform-based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Bill to regulate social security and welfare for platform-based gig workers, making it the second state after Rajasthan to do so.

This bill aims to establish a Welfare Board, grievance redressal mechanisms, and mandates for aggregators to ensure timely payments and safe working conditions for gig workers.

It seeks to provide a structured framework for the gig economy, addressing issues such as contractual rights, social security schemes, and penalties for non-compliance.
