Code on Social Security, 2020

This authoritative volume presents the Code on Social Security, 2020 in full, together with associated rules, schedules and concise explanatory notes to aid interpretation and compliance. Organized section-by-section for quick reference, the book clarifies key provisions on social security coverage, contributions, benefits (pensions, insurance, maternity, sickness, disability), welfare funds, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It flags interactions with existing labour laws and state-level variations where relevant, and includes ready-to-use indexes, an annotated table of contents, and margin space for practitioner notes. HR teams and employers will find practical summaries of employer obligations and timelines for contribution and registration; lawyers and adjudicators will value the verbatim statutory text and cross-references; students and researchers will benefit from summary boxes and illustrative examples that simplify complex policy provisions. Carefully edited for accuracy, this edition is suitable as a desk reference, classroom textbook, or compliance manual for organisations navigating India’s modernised social security framework.
