The urban informal sector in India constitutes a significant part of the urban economy and workforce. It refers to the unregulated, unregistered, and often unprotected economic activities that lie outside the formal purview of government regulation.

It is characterized by low wages, job insecurity, lack of social protection, and weak institutional support.
