A compliance officer at Kaveri Engineering Ltd notes that the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 came into force through a notification of the Central Government. Which statement about its commencement is correct?

The Code came into force on 21 November 2025 through a Central Government notification. Section 1(3) allows the Centre to appoint the date and to appoint different dates for different provisions, so it did not depend on assent alone or on State notifications.

  2. BIt came into force on 21 November 2025 by Central Government notification, and different dates could be appointed for different provisionsCorrect
  3. CIt came into force on 1 April of the year following the notification, for all provisions together
  4. DIt came into force only after each State notified it separately

Explanation

Section 1(3) lets the Central Government appoint the date by notification, with different dates for different provisions. The footnote records 21 November 2025. Option A is wrong because commencement needed notification.
