In an effort to prevent potential complications regarding the continuity of laws replaced by the Industrial Relations Code of 2020, a new amendment bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha. This initiative was spearheaded by Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday.
The Industrial Relations Code (Amendment) Bill, 2026, was brought forward through a supplementary agenda immediately post the Question Hour. According to the statement supporting the proposed law, the code replaces several longstanding acts related to trade unions, employment, and disputes.
The intent behind the amendment is to address possible future misinterpretations regarding legal delegations. A notification in February 2026 further reinforces the code's self-executing provision, aiming to ensure smooth legal transitions and continuity.
