WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

India: The Changing Indian Labour Law Regime & its Impact

The labour legislations in India are archaic. With the objective of ease of doing business in India and a step towards digitalization, the Central Government of India proposes to replace 29 labour legislations with 4 labour codes namely, The Code on Wages, 2019, The Industrial Relations Code, 2020, The Occupational Safety Health And Working Conditions Code, 2020 and The Code on Social Security, 2020 (together referred to as the “Labour Codes”). The Labour Codes are pending to be notified for enforcement. The date of enforcement is likely to be the beginning of the new fiscal year. However, based on the publically available articles, it seems that these Labour Codes will be enforced sooner. 

The session would give an insight of the significant changes under the labour codes and its impact on the industry.
