Not all casual workers are covered by the Employees Provident Fund. Coverage depends on certain criteria and the nature of the establishment.

As per the labor laws in India, casual workers are entitled to regular working hours and any work beyond that is considered overtime, for which they should be paid extra.

The government has made provisions wherein they can mandate establishments to pay wages through bank accounts, aiming at transparency and reducing cash transactions.
