Dear All,

In accordance with the Notification of Wage Codes effective 21^st November 2025. The Definition of Wages has been changed.

While we still wait for the rules to be published to get more clarity as there remains grey area on calculation of certain components which are excluded from Wages ie: Interest on Employer Share of Provident Fund, Gratuity, Overtime, etc., it will be imperative to make changes in the existing Salary Structure in line with the Codes.

These changes are necessary to incorporate as ESI has already issued circular which has been shared with you earlier.

We have enclosed a detailed document summarizing the inclusions & exclusions for your information & action.

– Please feel free to contact your Account executive with your queries on your existing structure & allow us a few days to revert on an individual basis.

Dear all,

In view of the implementation of the new labour codes, please note that ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) coverage has now been extended to Education Institutions and Hospitals effective 21/11/2025.

Accordingly, all such establishments are required to register under ESI at the earliest to ensure compliance with statutory requirements.

If you need any assistance with the registration process or have queries regarding compliance, please feel free to contact us. Our team will be glad to guide you through the necessary steps.

This is to inform you that the Four Labour Codes have been formally brought into force with effect from 21 November 2025 by the Central Govt.

However, these Codes will not replace the existing labour laws until the respective State Governments notify their Rules.

Accordingly, all current labour laws will continue to remain applicable, and there is no immediate or abrupt change in compliance requirements for employers at this stage related to Compliance records, Registers, Returns etc.

Implementation of the Labour Codes will commence gradually once the State Rules are notified. We will keep you informed of all relevant updates and provide guidance on the compliance steps to be taken as the transition progresses.

We expect respective states to issue gazzette notification informing the implementation date in the next few weeks.

Until then please remain patient and wait to hear from us.
