Abstract

Freelance or gig economy has taken a new dimension with the emergence of digital platforms. Even though gig economy has always been given importance but, due to the lack for proper regulations and protocols, employees had hesitation to join this economy except out of compulsion. With the declining LFPR, India should take care of the situation or it might be too late to enthrall the fiscal opportunities which this niche economy has to offer. The study is all about the obstacles for these gig workers continuing in this sector and what can be done to improve the situation.
