The Indo-French Chamber of Commerce & Industry (IFCCI), in association with Khaitan & Co and under the aegis of IFCCI’s Industries Committee, organised a webinar on “India’s New Labour Codes – Understanding the Compliance Framework” on 17th December 2025.
The session featured insights from Anshul Prakash, Partner – Employment, Labour & Benefits, Khaitan & Co, who discussed the practical implications of the new Labour Codes and what organisations must consider during the transition phase.
Key takeaways:
The new definition of 'wages' has immediate implications for payroll structuring and statutory contributions
Social security coverage has expanded, including provisions for fixed-term and gig workers
Industrial Relations and OSH Codes introduce new compliance expectations for workforce engagement and safety practices
Existing standing orders and state laws remain relevant during the transition, requiring careful harmonisation
Early assessment of employment structures and policies is critical to minimise compliance and cost risks
The webinar concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where the speaker addressed questions from the audience, followed by closing remarks from IFCCI. We thank all attendees for their participation.
