The Indian government has released draft rules for four new labor codes, aiming for nationwide implementation by April 1, 2026. These codes, including those on wages, industrial relations, social security, and occupational safety, are open for stakeholder feedback for 30-45 days. Notably, the draft rules propose social security provisions for gig and platform workers, outlining how days of engagement with multiple aggregators will be cumulatively counted. Industry bodies view this as a significant step towards labor reform.
