India’s New Labour Codes 2025

India’s four Labour Codes—on wages, social security, industrial relations, and workplace safety—have become legally effective from 21 November 2025, replacing 29 central labour laws and triggering a phased implementation as state rules are notified. The biggest change is the new unified wage definition, which requires at least 50% of total pay to count as “wages”, increasing PF, gratuity and other statutory costs. Social-security coverage expands to more workers, including gig and unorganised sectors, while hiring and exit rules are eased for smaller units and formalised for larger ones through a higher 300-worker threshold. The Codes also introduce flexible work-hour models, stricter overtime rules, and a shift to digital, audit-ready compliance systems. Businesses must redesign salary structures, update HR policies, assess contractor arrangements, invest in digital compliance tools, and train HR and payroll teams for smooth transition.
