This article examines the effects of the new labour laws on the organized and unorganized sectors of India's economy, highlighting the transition from a disjointed to a more cohesive system of labour laws. The new rules consolidate 29 separate labour regulations into four broad categories: salaries, workplace safety, social security, and industrial relations. The unorganised sector, which accounts for approximately 80% of India's workers, will find it challenging, while the organized sector would benefit from simplified compliance and improved worker care. Problems with enforcement, knowledge, and eligibility for social security benefits exist in this area. It is crucial that these reforms are put into action in order for them to establish bridges, even though plans have been made to provide social safety to informal workers.
