According to the 7th Pay Commission, central government employees will need to adhere to new regulations in order to receive leave travel concessions, or LTC. Government employees must now purchase the least expensive ticket in order to be eligible for reimbursement, according to the Ministry of Finance. Additionally, they must reserve the single ticket from an authorised travel agent, and that too at least three weeks beforehand. Employees have been instructed not to cancel tickets. According to India.com, Bomer Lawrie & Company, Ashok Travels, and IRCTC are the authorised agencies. Employees are not required to pay these agencies any fees. Employees must provide the reasons for the cancellation of the tickets within 72 hours if there are circumstances that make it impossible for them to do otherwise. If the government approves the increase in fitment factor, some wage modifications are also possible for government employees. For a while now, employee unions have been calling for an increase in the fitment factor. The demand is to raise it to 3.68 percent from its current 2.57 percent level. The minimum salary will increase by 8,000 rupees, to 26,000, if the increase is approved. Employees can anticipate a dearness allowance (DA) of over 34% if the dearness allowance is also increased, which it is most likely to do.

PickMyWork, an Indian digital distribution network that assists digital companies in acquiring end customers (both individuals and businesses), has announced plans to expand its agent network by tenfold and empower over one lakh agents. Currently, the network contains 10,000 gig workers and merchants. PickMyWork can leverage this network to help consumer tech companies connect with end users and retailers. PickMyWork co-founder and CSO Kajal Malik said, “We aim at supporting consumer tech companies while also creating income opportunities in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.” PickMyWork is attempting to re-establish earning prospects for workers in tier 1 and tier 2 cities, particularly those who were rendered jobless as a result of the pandemic, so that they can gradually re-establish their life in the comfort of their homes. Many jobless / gig workers have gained hope as a result of this campaign. The existing 35-strong workforce at the Gurugram-based firm will shortly grow. The firm is looking for talent in a variety of areas, including technology, business development, marketing, and alliances and partnerships. According to Malik, the platform has “seen overwhelming results” in “trying to develop a holistic model for all” and is now ready to “seek to grow 10x.” The pay-per-task startup is trying to expand its in-house workforce, which will result in additional permanent positions being created. This is also consistent with PickMyWork’s financial goals. Many consumer technology businesses in tier 2 and tier 3 cities that were having trouble breaking into the market are now partnering with PickMyWork for a higher return on investment and faster results. Clients include Meesho, Freecharge, AU Small Finance Bank, and other B2B behemoths.
