“All 36 states and UTs are expected to complete harmonization and pre-publication of draft rules by 31st March 2025, including Delhi and West Bengal,” labour and employment secretary Sumita Dawra told ET.
“This has been possible following extensive consultations with states this year through six regional meetings to facilitate framing of Rules in their domain while ensuring that their Rules are aligned with the central Rules,” she added.
The Code on Wages was approved by the Parliament in 2019 while the Social Security Codes, the Industrial Relations Code and the Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code were approved in 2020. While the Centre had framed Rules under these Codes in time, it has been waiting for all states to firm up Rules in their domain to avoid any legal issues after the roll-out of the Codes.
According to the year-end review released by the ministry on Saturday, Nagaland pre-published draft Rules under Code on Social Security and the Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code during this period while Sikkim pre-published draft Rules under the Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code and Andaman & Nicobar Islands pre-published draft Rules under the Industrial Relations Code.
