Abstract	Except for the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act, 2008 domestic 'employment' in India is inadequately regulated and sometimes covered by labour laws (Ghosh, 2013). Because of informality in contracts and ignorance of social security regulations, most of the benefits of such activities do not reach the workers (Sumalatha et al, 2021). The Covid-19 crisis has raised mounting concerns over the pre-existing vulnerabilities of informal workers, who number more than 1.6 billion worldwide (World Bank, 2020; ILO 2020 a and b). Several studies have emphasised the vulnerability and abuse those domestic workers encountered during the epidemic in several Indian cities. COVID-19 hurts the housemaid’s mental health (Mazza et al., 2020). In the present study, four aspects of housemaid life covered income, loan and debt, social and psychological problems. Based on the sample study, the results were analysed with the help of various statistical tools. The results of the study are very pessimistic and show very serious long-term impacts on housemaids.
