Anita Textiles Ltd. has a factory in Surat and contract workers, and also employs inter-state migrant workers. Its HR head must identify which Code replaced the Factories Act, 1948, the Contract Labour Act, 1970 and the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, 1979, and also note the date from which the Codes are in force. Which statement is correct?

The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 replaced the Factories Act, Contract Labour Act and Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act, among other laws. The four Labour Codes have been in force from 21 November 2025. The Industrial Relations Code addresses unions and disputes instead.

  1. AThe Industrial Relations Code, 2020; in force from 21 November 2025
  2. BThe Code on Wages, 2019; in force from 21 November 2025
  3. CThe Code on Social Security, 2020; in force from 1 April 2025
  4. DThe Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; in force from 21 November 2025Correct

Explanation

The OSH Code, 2020 subsumed the Factories Act, Contract Labour Act, Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act and other safety and working-condition laws, among 13 in total. All four Codes came into force on 21 November 2025. The Industrial Relations Code deals with unions and disputes, so option one is wrong on the Code.
