The Kerala Bamboo, Kattuvalli and Pandanus Leaf Workers' Welfare Fund (Amendment) Act, 2021, is a legislative update to the existing 1998 welfare framework for traditional workers in Kerala. Its primary purpose is to adjust the financial contributions required to sustain the welfare fund. Specifically, the Act increases the mandatory monthly contribution for workers from seven rupees to fifteen rupees. Additionally, it modifies the matching contribution provided by the government or employer, reducing it from an amount equal to the worker's contribution (100%) to seventy-five percent of the worker's contribution. This ensures the fund remains financially viable for supporting these specific labor sectors.
