Meera, a company secretary, is asked by her client, a manufacturing firm, how many Labour Codes replaced the earlier central labour enactments. She correctly states that the central labour laws were consolidated into four Codes. Which set of Codes is correct?

The four Labour Codes are the Code on Wages, the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Social Security, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. Contract labour, factories and mines provisions are absorbed within the OSH Code, so there is no separate Contract Labour or Factories Code.

Explanation

The twenty-nine central laws were subsumed into four 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. Contract labour and factories are handled inside the OSH Code, not separate Codes.
