Wadhwa's New Labour & Industrial Code by B.R. Potdar & Girish Patwardhan, published by Wadhwa & Company, Indore, is a Diglot (Hindi–English) edition carrying all four of India's new labour codes together with their Central Rules, 2026, in a single volume.
India's labour law was consolidated from twenty-nine separate enactments into four codes, and the framework only became workable once the Central Rules were notified. A compliance question now runs across a code and its rules together, which is why this volume carries each code with its rules rather than the bare statutes alone — and does so in both languages, since labour compliance in India is administered in Hindi and English alike.

What Each Code Governs
The Code on Wages, 2019 consolidates the law on minimum wages, payment of wages, payment of bonus and equal remuneration — wage definition, fixation and revision, deductions, timelines for payment, and the bonus entitlement.
The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 covers trade unions and their registration, standing orders, notice of change, works committees and grievance redressal, negotiating unions, strikes and lock-outs, lay-off, retrenchment and closure, and the machinery of conciliation and adjudication.
The Code on Social Security, 2020 brings together provident fund, employees' state insurance, gratuity, maternity benefit, employees' compensation and the provisions for unorganised, gig and platform workers, with the registration, contribution and benefit machinery for each.
The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 deals with registration of establishments, duties of employers and employees, licensing for contractors, working hours, leave with wages, welfare facilities, and the special provisions for factories, mines, docks, plantations, construction, transport, journalists, audio-visual workers and inter-State migrant workers.

Why Choose This Edition?
Most labour code volumes carry the four codes but stop short of the rules, or carry the rules in English only. Having each code paired with its Central Rules, 2026, in Hindi and English on the same page is what makes this usable at the point a compliance question actually arises — when a notice, register, return or form has to be answered in the language the inspectorate uses.
Readers should verify the current position against the latest official notifications, as the codes and rules are subject to amendment and to State-specific rules.
