Govt. working on scheme to offer financial support to both employers, employees in IT/ITES sector

The government is working on a scheme to push work-from-home jobs in the IT sector by offering financial incentives to both employees and employers.

“Incentivising work-from-home jobs through policy-level initiatives can help in creating jobs in the ITES domain while increasing the available talent pool for the sector. This will create employment opportunities in the IT/ITES industry, especially for women and differently-abled persons,” an IT Ministry official said. Currently, the scheme is proposed for a three-year period till March 31, 2022, with an outlay of about ?270 crore to create about 50,000 work-from-home jobs.

The initiative is likely to be launched as phase II of the IT Ministry’s India BPO Promotion Scheme that incentivises firms to set up operations in tier-2 and tier-3 cities in the country. The scheme, launched in 2016, had an outlay of about ?500 crore with an objective to create about 1.45 lakh jobs.

“There is abundant talent pool in the country, especially women, who are not able to join full-time office jobs. The scheme envisages incentives for both employers as well as employees,” the official said. Pointing out that companies do not recruit people for work-from-home jobs on part-time basis, but on contract due to stringent labour laws, the official said, “For contract-based jobs, companies don’t need to provide PF and other job benefits.”
