Replying to a question, Labour and Employment Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said there is no proposal to extend social security benefits like EPF, ESIC, gratuity and pension facilities to all unorganised sector workers.
Underlining that the government has enacted the Unorganised Sector Social Security Act, 2008 with a view to provide social social security measures to all unorganised workers, he said that the government has already taken various steps to provide social security for the unorganised workers.
It may be recalled that 93 per cent of the work force in the country are employed in the unorganised sector.
