Contd from Saturday
With unified portals like Shram Suvidha, compliance is now simpler and more transparent. While some worry about weaker enforcement, inspections haven’t been abolished—just made more targeted, less intrusive, and more transparent, improving both efficiency and accountability.
Finally, the formal recognition of non-standard forms of employment signals a forward-looking orientation. While gig and platform workers do not yet enjoy full employee status and hence lack entitlements such as collective bargaining or minimum wage guarantees, their inclusion in the social security framework represents an important first step toward more inclusive labour regulation. All in all, the new labour codes mark a major step toward bringing India’s workplace laws in tune with today’s economy. (To be contd)
