About the Book -

• The Law Relating to the Code on Social Security, 2020 is a comprehensive and authoritative examination of a historic reform that marks India’s bold stride toward universal social security.
• Consolidating and amending nine central labour laws—including landmark schemes such as the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees’ State Insurance (ESI)—the Code streamlines and modernizes the country’s social security architecture.
• This extensive volume offers meticulous, section-by-section analysis of key areas such as EPF, ESI, Gratuity, Maternity Benefit, and Employee’s Compensation.
• The Code significantly expands social protection by extending coverage to Unorganised Workers, Gig Workers, and Platform Workers, with provisions mandating aggregator contributions to the Social Security Fund based on annual turnover.
• The book also incorporates the latest Draft Central Rules and Notifications for ready reference.
• Rich with distilled insights from important Supreme Court and High Court judgments—particularly valuable where the Code mirrors earlier laws—this commentary serves as an indispensable resource for the legal fraternity, labour courts and tribunals, HR professionals, trade unions, employer organisations, and academia seeking clarity on the evolving framework of social security in India.
