NEW LABOUR CODES WITH LABOUR RULES AUTHOR : PUBLISHER : DATE OF PUBLICATION : EDITION : ISBN NO : NO. OF PAGES : BINDING TYPE :

Taxmann's Editorial Board Taxmann August 2026 2026 Edition 9788167010025 1624 Paperback

Rs. 1,395 DESCRIPTION New Labour Codes with Labour Rules brings the entire new labour-law regime into one working volume—the enforced text of all four Codes, their notified Central Rules, the Model Standing Orders, the rewritten provident fund, insurance and pension schemes, supporting notifications, a full set of FAQs, and a practical employer handbook. With 29 central Acts now consolidated into four Codes and in force, it puts the operative material in one place instead of leaving it scattered across bare acts, gazette notifications, and circulars. The Edition works two ways: • The authoritative day-to-day reference for the Codes, rules and schemes as they apply • A transition manual for anyone moving off the repealed Acts The law is stated as enforced with effect from 21-11-2025, with the central rules notified on 8-5-2026, the provident fund, insurance and pension schemes notified on 29-6-2026, and the text updated till 20-07-2026. This book is intended for all stakeholders who require clarity, continuity, and compliance certainty under the Labour Codes framework, including: • HR, Payroll, and Personnel Heads • Employers, Factory And Establishment Managers, and Compliance Officers • Practising Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost Accountants, and Advocates • In-House Legal and ER Teams • Aggregators and Platform Businesses • Government Officers, Inspectors-Cum-Facilitators, and Tribunal Members • Faculty and Students in Law, Management, and Professional Courses The Present Publication is the July 2026 Edition, updated till 20-07-2026. It is authored/edited by Taxmann's Editorial Board, with the following noteworthy features: • [Two-Way Concordance Tables] Thirty-three tables—four forward, one per Code, and twenty-nine in reverse, one per repealed Act—mapping every new section to the provision it replaced, and back; new provisions flagged and lapsed ones left deliberately blank • [Provision-by-Provision Comparative Study] Four studies across some 131 pages, drawing out the substantive shifts against the repealed Acts • [Complete Notified 2026 Central Rules] The Code on Wages, Industrial Relations, Social Security, and OSH&WC (Central) Rules, with the Model Standing Orders and the Other Beneficiaries Medical Facilities Scheme, all gazetted 8-5-2026—so procedural detail sits with the statute • [The Three New Social Security Schemes 2026] The Employees' Provident Funds, Deposit-Linked Insurance and Pension Schemes, notified 29-6-2026, reproduced with their forms and actuarial tables—together with the transitional windows annexed to them, including the Employees' Enrolment Campaign, 2026, which closes on 31-10-2026 • [Multiple FAQ Sets] Seven sets running to 127 questions—the 50% wage rule with a fully worked illustration, gratuity applicability dates, ESI coverage during transition, leave encashment, contract-labour core/non-core activities, and cess on gig and platform workers • [Compliance Handbook for Employers (Central Government Sphere)] A reform-metrics summary, a foundational/monthly/annual/event-based action-point checklist, key-definition annexures (wages, employee, worker), and the occupational-disease and applicability schedules • [Notifications and Clarifications] Appended to each Code, keeping supporting executive material in context, and indexed code-wise at the close of the volume
