India enacts four new labour codes, modernizing worker protections and expanding benefits.
India has rolled out four new labour codes, replacing 29 older laws to modernize worker protections.
The reforms set universal minimum wages, require appointment letters, ensure timely pay, and extend social security to gig, platform, fixed-term, and migrant workers.
Women gain equal pay, safer opt-in night shifts, and 26 weeks of paid maternity leave.
Workers over 40 get free annual health checks, and overtime pay is doubled.
The codes simplify compliance with single registration and faster dispute resolution, while improving safety and union representation.
The government calls the shift transformative, though some unions warn it may weaken job security and expand employer leverage.
