The government intends to bring in maximum governance with minimum laws by amalgamating all labour laws into four broad Codes, according to a senior official.
The labour ministry wants to introduce four Codes — on wages, industrial relation, social security and industrial safety — which would subsume all labour laws in more simplified and rationalised form.
“We intend to have minimum law, minimum government and maximum governance so that every individual should govern,” Labour Secretary H L Samariya said at an event here.
“With all these (4 labour) Codes, what we are intending for employers, is that there should be minimum hurdle, hassles for employers. It should be self governance. (We want) one registration, one licence, one form and one compliance. But there should not be any cheating from both sides. It has to be a win-win situation for both sides,” he added.

The secretary noted that initially India had 45 central labour Acts (laws) and as on date there are only 32 central labour Acts.
“We are simplifying, rationalising and subsuming these Acts into four Codes. It will be affecting all workers,” Samariya said addressing an event by All India Organisation of Employers.
