What is changed under India’s new labour codes? Pre Vs post labour reforms
In a major overhaul of India's labour framework, the Government of India has announced four new labour codes — the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020 and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. India's new labour codes, that are effective from November 21, 2025, mark a significant shift from old rules, expanding worker protections and modernising employment practices.Under the old system, employers were not required to issue appointment letters, but the new codes make written appointment letters mandatory for all workers. Minimum wages earlier applied only to scheduled industries, leaving many workers outside coverage; the new labour codes guarantee a statutory right to minimum.
Pre Vs post labour reforms: What is changed?
The new labour ecosystem is set to bring major changes across India's employment, wages, workers' safety and compliance. The Union government called the new labour codes a “historic” decision and that the new additions will rationalise 29 existing labour laws, modernise regulations and improve workers' welfare, thus creating a future-ready workforce and stronger, more resilient industries under Aatmanirbhar Bharat.Here is a comparison of the labour system before and after the changes:Why were these new codes added?
Many of India's labour laws were framed between the 1930s and 1950s – pre-Independence and early post-Independence era – a period when the concept of digital economy or gig economy was not known.According to the government, India continued to operate under this fragmented framework with overlapping compliances, outdated processes, and limited protection for workers, especially those outside the formal sector for decades.“The Four Labour Codes is a move toward replacing this patchwork with a uniform, modern legal framework that the government says will create a workforce that is “protected, productive and aligned with the evolving world of work,” paving the way for a more resilient, competitive and self-reliant nation,” it said.
‘Shramev Jayate': PM Modi on India's new labour codes
Speaking on the implementation of India's new labour codes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X, “Shramev Jayate! Today, our Government has given effect to the Four Labour Codes. It is one of the most comprehensive and progressive labour-oriented reforms since Independence. It greatly empowers our workers. It also significantly simplifies compliance and promotes ‘Ease of Doing Business.'”He further added that these codes will serve as a “strong foundation for universal social security, minimum and timely payment of wages, safe workplaces and remunerative opportunities…especially Nari Shakti and Yuva Shakti.”It will also protect the rights of workers and strengthens India's economic growth and boost job creation in the country, he added in the X post.
