MYSURU: Domestic workers across the state, who are entitled to Rs 2,000 Covid relief announced by the government, are struggling to furnish proof of employment which is mandatory to get the assistance.
On the high court’s nudge, the government had stepped in to simplify the process, and allowed employers to certify helps. Employers, however, are required to give proof of their identity and most are reluctant to part with their Aadhaar number or PAN.
An estimated 10 lakh domestic workers are eligible for the Rs 2,000 one-time assistance from the state government. Many lost their jobs during the May-July lockdown and are only now eyeing a return to normalcy.
