India’s formal job sector is witnessing a significant boom, with forecasts suggesting a record-breaking 14.5 million net additions in the fiscal year 2024-25, surpassing previous highs. Despite a slight dip in new EPFO registrations, attributed to a lack of incentives, the surge in formalization propelled by wage digitization is driving job creation. Government schemes such as employment-linked incentives are anticipated to stimulate establishment registrations even further, contributing to the positive trend in the job market.
