India’s formal job sector is witnessing a significant boom, with projections suggesting a remarkable 14.5 million net additions in fiscal year 2024-25, surpassing previous records.

Government schemes such as employment-linked incentives are anticipated to accelerate establishment registrations, contributing to the growth of the formal job market in India.
