Ananya Textiles Ltd. has units in Surat, Coimbatore and Ludhiana. A director asks whether the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 applies only to establishments in states that adopt it separately. Which statement matches the Code's extent clause?

The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 extends to the whole of India under its extent clause. It is not limited to particular states or Union territories and needs no state adoption, so all of Ananya Textiles' units in different states fall within its territorial extent.

  2. BIt applies only to industrial establishments in notified industrial states
  3. CIt applies only to the Union territories and Central Government establishments
  4. DIt applies only to states that pass a ratifying resolution

Explanation

Section 1(2) of the Code states that it extends to the whole of India. No state-by-state adoption is needed, so the units in all three states are covered by the extent clause. The options suggesting limited or ratified application contradict this.
