Labour Codes Consulting
Implementation
Strategic advisory and end-to-end implementation support for organisations transitioning to India’s new labour compliance framework.
Navigating India’s New Labour Compliance Era
India’s labour regulatory landscape has undergone one of the most significant transformations in decades.
In November 2025, the Government of India implemented four comprehensive Labour Codes that consolidate 29 central labour laws into a simplified, modernised regulatory framework.
These reforms aim to streamline compliance, expand worker protections, and create a unified labour governance system covering wages, industrial relations, social security, and workplace safety.
However, for enterprises operating across multiple states, locations, and workforce categories, the transition to the new Labour Codes presents complex operational, legal, and compliance challenges.
C-Quel helps organisations interpret, prepare for, and implement the new Labour Codes with clarity, accuracy, and disciplined execution.

Understanding the Four Labour Codes
Code on Wages, 2019
Establishes uniform rules for minimum wages, payment of wages, bonus payments, and equal remuneration across industries.
Industrial Relations Code, 2020
Regulates trade unions, employment contracts, industrial disputes, layoffs, and retrenchment frameworks to promote industrial harmony and operational flexibility.
Code on Social Security, 2020
Consolidates multiple social security laws and extends coverage to broader worker categories including gig and platform workers.
Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
Strengthens workplace safety, health standards, welfare provisions, and working conditions across establishments.
Together, these four codes replace 29 earlier labour laws, simplifying compliance while modernising India’s employment governance framework.
