Digital Labour Justice in India: Emerging Rights, Regulatory Reforms, and Contemporary Challenges in Platform-based Employment

Author(s) Ms. Savita Bhimanagouda Patil
Country India
Abstract The digital platform economy has fundamentally altered labour relations in India by technology-mediated work arrangements, introduction of flexibility that challenges conventional employment structures. While platform-based employment has created significant opportunities for income generation, it has simultaneously exposed workers to legal ambiguity, social insecurity, algorithmic control and economic precarity. Gig workers engaged in different sphere - logistics, transportation, food delivery, household services, stationary, daily usage and digital freelancing often remain outside the protective framework of traditional labour law. This article critically examines the legal architecture governing platform-based labour in India from 2024 to 2026, with particular attention to recent central labour code implementation, emerging state-level welfare statutes, judicial interventions and policy developments concerning algorithmic accountability and more on social security contributions. Drawing upon statutory analysis, comparative jurisprudence, constitutional principles and contemporary case developments, the article argues for a rights-based legal framework capable of reconciling technological innovation with labour justice. It further proposes practical need for the reforms concerning on worker’s classification, social security portability, algorithmic transparency, occupational measures and institutional enforcement. The article concludes that sustainable digital economic growth depends upon embedding substantive labour protection laws into India’s evolving platform economy.
