New Labour Codes with New Draft Rules and Comparative Study of New Labour Codes and Old Labour Laws

New Labour Codes with New Draft Rules and Comparative Study of New Labour Codes and Old Labour Laws is a comprehensive statutory and transition-oriented reference work that presents India’s restructured labour law framework in its complete and functional form. The publication is built on three equally critical pillars—the Labour Codes, the Comparative Study with repealed labour laws, and the Draft Central Rules—without which a correct understanding or application of the new regime is not possible. The book consolidates the full text of all four Labour Codes—the Code on Wages 2019; the Industrial Relations Code 2020; the Code on Social Security 2020; and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020—along with a Code-wise comparative study mapping these enactments to the legacy labour statutes they replace, and the Draft Central Rules 2025 that operationalise the statutory framework. The law stated in the book is up to date, reflecting the post-enforcement phase of the Labour Codes. This publication is not conceived as a conventional Bare Act compilation. It is editorially designed as a comprehensive labour law transition manual, enabling readers to understand the law as enacted, as transformed from the old regime, and as intended for implementation.

This book is intended for all stakeholders who require clarity, continuity, and compliance certainty under the Labour Codes framework, including:
