Code on Social Security, 2019

In an effort to simplify and consolidate labour laws, the Government of India is in the process of consolidating several central labour laws into four codes.  The Code on Social Security, 2019 (‘Code’) is the last of such codes to be introduced in the Parliament.  The Code, which has been introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 11, 2019, intends to consolidate central labour laws relating to employee social security and benefits, including the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948, and the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
