Cine Workers Welfare Fund Act, 1981
As it is evident every law serves a certain purpose and
hence all labour laws are employment-based and some are establishments based. In
the event of non-compliance, an organisation will be subject to fines,
penalties, lawsuit, loss of credibility, loss of contract, and maybe even
closure of the business.
The Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working
Conditions (OSHW), 2020, has been introduced by the Labour and Employment
Ministry and has proposed one license, one registration, and one return for
establishments for Indian companies.
The Proposed bill suggests consolidating 13 Labour laws
easing out the registration and compliance process for organisations. The
Rajya Sabha in September, 2020 passed the bill and 29 labour laws are
consolidated in four labour codes:
