Which of the following labour related Acts have been amalgamated into the 'Code on Wages, 2019'? I. Minimum Wages Act II. Payment of Bonus Act III. The Contract Labour Act IV. Equal Remuneration Act
Verified Answer
A. I and II only
B. II and III only
C. I, II and IV only
D. I, II, III and IV
Explanation:
The Code on Wages, 2019, subsumed four existing labour laws: The Payment of Wages Act, 1936; The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 (I); The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 (II); and The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 (IV). The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 (III) was NOT subsumed into the Code on Wages; it is part of the Code on Industrial Relations.
