This 2025 Bare-Act edition of The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (No. 35 of 2020, dt. 29-9-2020) places one consolidated statute where three separate enactments once stood—it repeals & replaces the Trade Unions Act 1926, Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act 1946 and Industrial Disputes Act 1947 to create a single, streamlined framework for unions, standing orders and dispute-resolution.
