India's New
Labour Codes

To streamline labour laws and enhance the 'ease of doing business' in India, the Indian government is all set to amalgamate 29 existing labour laws into four distinct new labour codes.

​

These new labour codes will be categorized as follows:

• Wages;

• Social Security;

• Industrial Relations; and

• Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions.

​

The introduction of these labour codes will result in modifications to certain existing practices and procedures, streamline regulations, remove some outdated rules, and make the registration process both mandatory and more efficient. Furthermore, penalties for non-compliance will be increased.

​

We have created a toolkit comprising of our assessments of the new labour codes. Please feel free to contact us for more information or to discuss this further.
