I am a delivery boy for a food app in Kolkata, am I entitled to social security as a gig worker?

Gig and platform workers are recognized under the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 rules as adopted by your state. The Code mandates constitution of a Social Security Fund and provision of life, disability, health, and maternity benefits for gig workers in Kolkata. The Calcutta High Court has taken note of the precarious nature of gig employment and has urged the state to operationalize the Code at the earliest. The aggregating platform must contribute to the fund, and the state government may frame schemes for the welfare of gig workers. Currently, the absence of notification of the Code in many states means gig workers may need to rely on state-level welfare schemes. You can register on the e-Shram portal to avail benefits under the central unorganized worker scheme.
