Sunrise Logistics Pvt Ltd's HR head asks which authority may establish a Social Security Fund that is credited with amounts from composition of offences under the Code relating to the State Government. Which is correct?

The State Government establishes this fund. Under Section 141(5) it is for the welfare of unorganised workers and is credited with composition amounts for offences relating to the State Government plus other sources the State prescribes, and it is administered as the State prescribes.

  1. AThe State Government, for the welfare of unorganised workersCorrect
  2. BThe Central Government, within its Social Security Fund for gig workers
  3. CThe Employees' State Insurance Corporation, for insured persons
  4. DThe National Social Security Board, for platform workers

Explanation

Section 141(5) provides that the State Government establishes a Social Security Fund for the welfare of unorganised workers, credited with amounts from composition of offences relating to the State Government and other prescribed sources. The Central fund in 141(1) draws on composition of offences relating to the Central Government, so the Central option is wrong.
