Over 50,000 Swiggy Workers File Returns, Claiming Rs 6.5 Crore

More than 50,000 Swiggy delivery workers filed income tax returns using the company’s app.

They asked for a total of Rs 6.5 crore in tax refunds.

More than one-third of them had never filed a return before.

An income tax return is an official record showing how much someone earned.

This record may help workers apply for loans or rent a home.

It may also help them use other formal financial services.

Gig workers can have earnings from several sources and their monthly income can change.

Swiggy worked with three tax platforms to make filing easier.

The company said this could help workers build a recognized financial history.
