Three territorial chains
DNHDD, Ladakh and Lakshadweep require continuing adaptation, extension and inherited-law checks for specific propositions.
One ownership map for the Central Codes, schemes, 36 State/UT routes, transition, litigation and portals. Public analytical pages are separated from finite evidence-dependent research routes.
| Layer | Canonical owner | Publication treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Code on Wages | /labour/code-on-wages/ | 69 sections and 54 Central Rules; State application and variable wage notifications are separately controlled. |
| Industrial Relations | /labour/industrial-relations-code/ | 104 sections, Central Rules, forms and Model Standing Orders; jurisdiction and State authority remain fact-specific. |
| Social Security | /labour/social-security-code/ | 164 sections, Central Rules, forms and Schedules, read with preserved EPF/EPS/EDLI/ESI instruments. |
| OSHWC | /labour/oshwc-code/ | 143 sections, 186 Central Rules, forms, Schedules and Annexures; State and technical-sector instruments remain separately sourced. |
| EPF/EPS/EDLI | /labour/epfo-schemes/ | Scheme paragraph repositories remain distinct from Code provisions and later EPFO directions. |
| ESI | /labour/esic/ | Legacy Regulations and approved 2026 replacement framework are distinguished by Gazette and commencement status. |
| State and UT law | /employment/state-labour/ | All 36 jurisdiction guides; DNHDD, Ladakh and Lakshadweep adaptation-chain propositions remain controlled. |
| Legal status and transition | /labour/legal-status/ and /labour/transition/ | Commencement, amendments, repeal, savings and 29-law concordance determine the applicable legal version. |
| Litigation | /labour/litigation/ | Source-linked Supreme Court records, issue maps and workflows; unresolved larger-bench, higher-pension and State citator routes remain noindex. |
| Portals | /labour/portals/ | Official operating guides with review dates; portal behaviour is not treated as the source of legal entitlement. |
DNHDD, Ladakh and Lakshadweep require continuing adaptation, extension and inherited-law checks for specific propositions.
Industry definition, higher-pension implementation and the State High Court/tribunal citator remain controlled until signed orders and later treatment are complete.
Minimum wages, VDA, welfare-fund contributions, professional tax, holidays, forms and portals require date-stamped maintenance.
EPF/EPS/EDLI/ESI changes, State Code Rules and technical OSHWC orders require Gazette-triggered review.
