ASSOCHAM's National Seminar on New Labour Codes

New Labour Codes have already been implemented with effect from 21 November 2025; organisations continue to face significant challenges in interpreting and implementing the provisions correctly. Recent developments relating to Central Rules, evolving state-level requirements, wage definition implications, and changes impacting provident fund and social security compliance have further added to the complexity.

The reality is that many employers are aware of the provisions but remain uncertain about:

• The correct interpretation of the Codes and Rules;
• Implications of the revised wage definition on compensation structures;
• Impact of recent PF-related developments on employer obligations;
• Compliance risks arising from inconsistent implementation practices; and
• Steps organisations should take to avoid future penalties, disputes and litigation.

In this backdrop, ASSOCHAM is organizing a Virtual Masterclass on the New Labour Codes on 30 July 2026 to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving labour law framework and its practical implications for businesses. The masterclass is designed to equip HR, legal, compliance, payroll, finance, industrial relations, and business professionals, along with employers, industry representatives, consultants, and other stakeholders, with the technical knowledge and practical strategies required for effective implementation of the New Labour Codes.
