CENTRE IS IN NO HURRY TO NOTIFY NEW LABOUR CODES AS STATES FALL IN LINE

Centre Holds Back Labour Codes Notification

Around 30 states/UTs have published the draft rules in line with the four Codes, and most (about 20) have implemented those changes. But given the reluctance of the labour unions, the Centre has not formally notified them, officials say. A senior government official told newsportal Moneycontrol that there is no immediate need to notify the four Labour Codes introduced in 2019-2020 as most states and union territories (UTs) have already made the necessary changes in their respective state laws.
