Fadnavis had expanded his cabinet with the induction of 39 ministers on December 15. Even though he had announced that the portfolio allocation would be done in two days, it was delayed due to hard negotiations among the MahaYuti partners. The strength of the Fadnavis-led cabinet is 42 against 43 permissible under the legislative norms. Shinde insisted on allocating home, revenue and housing but BJP has rejected his demand while agreeing to give him housing. Ajit Pawar has retained planning and finance and in addition, got the excise department.

The National Economy and Finance Ministry on Monday signed a joint ministerial agreement with the Labor and Social Insurance Ministry that will introduce a new form of unemployment benefit, initially on a pilot basis. The revised structure of the unemployment benefit, which until now has been a flat amount received for a fixed period of time for all unemployed, irrespective of salary size or previous years of work, is based on a study conducted by the Public Employment Service (DYPA) in collaboration with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development under DG Reform support program. The issue of the benefit will be automated and have three parts, including a fixed part that is 70% of the minimum wage (or an individual’s average wages if lower), and variable bonus parts determined by years of insurance and average pay (when this is higher than the minimum wage).
