Despite the introduction of the Four Labour Codes in India—the Code on Wages, 2019; Industrial Relations Code, 2020; Code on Social Security, 2020; and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020—not all labour-related legislations have been consolidated under these central laws. Several state-specific statutes continue to remain in force and impose ongoing compliance obligations on employers, including State Labour Welfare Fund Acts, Professional Tax Acts, Shops and Commercial Establishments Acts, National and Festival Holidays Acts, state rules mandating compulsory gratuity insurance, and Payment of Subsistence Allowance Acts. These laws govern matters such as employee welfare contributions, professional tax deductions, working conditions, public holidays, gratuity liability coverage, and subsistence allowance during suspension, and have largely remained unaffected by the labour code reforms. Consequently, employers must continue to comply with the registration, deduction, remittance, filing, insurance, and operational requirements prescribed under the respective state laws until any future harmonization or repeal is undertaken.
