Code on Social Security, 2020 with Comparative Table

The Code on Social Security, 2020 is a comprehensive Bare Act with comments that consolidates and rationalises India’s social security and labour welfare laws into a single unified code. Enacted as Act 36 of 2020, this legislation integrates multiple pre-existing labour enactments governing employee compensation, insurance, provident fund, maternity benefits, gratuity, and unorganised workers’ welfare.
