CS Executive · Setting Up of Business, Industrial and Labour Laws · Evaluation of Labour Legislation and need of Labour Code

A student compares the commencement of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. Which statement is correct based on their official footnotes?

Both Codes came into force on 21 November 2025, but through separate notifications: S.O. 5320(E) for the Industrial Relations Code and S.O. 5321(E) for the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. Each needed Central Government notification to commence.

  1. AThe IR Code was notified on 21 November 2025 by S.O. 5320(E) and the OSH Code on the same date by S.O. 5321(E)Correct
  2. BThe IR Code came into force in 2020 and the OSH Code in 2025
  3. CBoth Codes were notified on the same date under one notification number, S.O. 5320(E)
  4. DThe OSH Code needs no notification as it applies from assent

Explanation

The IR Code footnote gives 21 November 2025 vide S.O. 5320(E); the OSH Code footnote gives the same date vide S.O. 5321(E). Dates are the same but the notification numbers differ, so the option claiming one common notification is wrong.
