Drivers on cab aggregating networks may benefit from the government’s income and social security scheme. The scheme, if implemented by states, will offer relief to the drivers, considering that the incentives granted to them have fallen significantly in the last few years, while commissions charged by aggregators on every ride have gone up, impacting their incomes. On Friday, the Union road transport and highways ministry, issued guidelines to bring all vehicle aggregators, such as Ola and Uber, under the regulatory framework. The slew of measures announced by the Centre seek to ensure customer safety, formalization of gig workers, or drivers in this case, and make the companies more accountable.
