flag India's new labour codes aim to modernize rules for workers, standardize wages, and expand social security, marking the biggest reform in decades.

flag India’s Law Commission official Anju Rathi Rana called the country’s four new labour codes the most significant reforms in decades, aiming to simplify complex labour laws by merging outdated regulations into a unified framework covering wages, industrial relations, social security, and workplace safety. flag The codes seek to modernize labour rules for gig and informal workers, standardize wages, establish a national floor wage, and expand social security coverage. flag While the reforms lay a foundational structure, success hinges on effective, coordinated implementation across states and balancing business flexibility with enforceable worker protections. flag The Labour Ministry has begun outlining compliance requirements, marking the shift from legislation to execution.
