India Targets October Deadline for State Rules Under New Labour Codes
The Indian government aims for all states and Union Territories to notify rules under the four new labour codes by October 31, 2026, to fully implement the consolidated labour law framework. These codes, effective since November 2025, simplify compliance by reducing regulations and returns, and enhance social security, including for gig and unorganised workers. The Ministry of Labour is conducting awareness and training programs while working on state-level rule-making and improving employment-skills linkages through digital platforms.
