The Industrial Relations Code, 2020
This edition of The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (No. 35 of 2020, dated 29-9-2020), published by Commercial Law Publishers (India) Pvt. Ltd., presents the updated bare text of the Code with short comments. The edition reflects the enforcement of the Code with effect from 21-11-2025 vide S.O. 5320(E), dated 21-11-2025, and provides a consolidated reference to the modern statutory framework governing industrial relations in India.
The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 consolidates and replaces three major labour enactments:
• The Trade Unions Act, 1926
• The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946
• The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947
The book also includes comparative tables showing the corresponding sections of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 alongside provisions of the earlier Acts, helping readers understand the transition from the previous legislative framework to the consolidated Code.
The Code covers important areas of industrial and employment relations, including:
• Registration and regulation of trade unions
• Recognition and rights of trade unions
• Standing orders and conditions of employment
• Industrial disputes and their settlement
• Conciliation and adjudication mechanisms
• Industrial tribunals and dispute-resolution procedures
• Strikes and lock-outs
• Lay-off, retrenchment, and closure
• Unfair labour practices
• Worker re-skilling and related provisions
• Penalties and offences
• Miscellaneous provisions concerning industrial relations
With the updated statutory text, short comments, and comparative tables mapping the Code against the earlier labour laws, this edition is particularly suitable for law students, advocates, labour-law practitioners, trade union representatives, employers, human-resource professionals, corporate compliance officers, academicians, and candidates preparing for professional and competitive examinations. It serves as a concise legal reference for studying and applying the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and understanding its relationship with the earlier industrial-relations legislation.
