India's Four Labour Codes Set For Full Rollout In 2026, EPFO 3.0 To Speed Up Claims

India's four Labour Codes, effective from November 2025, will be fully operationalised in 2026 with rules ensuring minimum wages and universal social security. Minister Mandaviya hailed the 2025 reforms, announcing EPFO 3.0 for faster withdrawals and pensions. Employers welcome modernisation, but central trade unions oppose the codes as anti-worker and plan a general strike on February 12, 2026.
