In early May 2026, the Government of Haryana released draft rules under all four Labour Codes—Wages, Industrial Relations, Occupational Safety and Health, and Social Security—for public consultation, signalling a comprehensive overhaul of the State’s labour law framework. The proposed rules set out updated procedures on minimum wages, trade unions, dispute resolution, workplace safety, health standards, and social security benefits, while seeking to replace legacy state regulations and align Haryana’s regime with the central Labour Codes.

This exemption aims to remove duplication and simplify compliance for businesses operating in the State. However, such establishments must continue to comply with all remaining provisions of the Shop Act, except where they conflict with the OSH Code.

They also set out procedures for licensing, factory approvals, inspections, and handling of dangerous operations, alongside specific requirements for contract labour and inter‑state migrant workers. The framework introduces structured safety committees, defines qualifications for inspectors and medical officers, and mandates extensive record‑keeping and reporting.

Stakeholders may submit objections or suggestions to both draft rules within 45 days of publication.

 

1.5. Maharashtra Releases Draft OSH and Social Security Rules for Public Consultation

On May 5, 2026, the Government of Maharashtra published draft rules under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code and the Code on Social Security, aimed at strengthening workplace safety and streamlining social security administration across the State.

Alongside this, the draft MH Social Security Rules outline the framework for unorganised workers’ welfare boards, worker registration, gratuity and maternity benefits, administration of the Social Security Fund, and vacancy reporting through Career Centres. Stakeholders may submit objections or suggestions to both draft rules within 45 days of publication.

1.16. Central Government Issues Multiple Notifications to Operationalise the Industrial Relations Code

The Central Government issued a series of notifications under the Industrial Relations Code (IR Code) to strengthen dispute resolution, enforcement and administrative clarity for establishments where it is the appropriate authority. These measures include appointing conciliation officers, appellate authorities, certifying officers, and officers empowered to conduct enquiries, impose penalties, compound offences and exercise delegated Central Government powers across defined jurisdictions.

Collectively, these notifications replace earlier frameworks, decentralise authority to regional labour officials and aim to ensure more efficient, transparent and uniform implementation of the IR Code nationwide.

 

1.17. Government constitutes technical advisory committee on child and adolescent labour

The central government has formed a Technical Advisory Committee under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986.

This move supersedes PFRDA’s earlier July 25, 2019, circular and avoids regulatory overlap by applying SEBI’s Prohibition of Insider Trading Regulations, 2015 to pension funds, their directors, employees and associated personnel. Pension funds must adopt SEBI‑compliant internal policies, model codes of conduct, monitoring systems and training mechanisms. PFRDA shall continue supervisory oversight to assess governance and compliance standards, effective from May 5, 2026.

MCA has issued a clarification on how members of companies without share capital should transfer their interest.

Rule 11 of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014 specifies that Form SH‑4, normally used for transferring physical securities, shall also be used for such transfers, with references to “securities” treated as the member’s “interest”.
