Haryana Urged to Extend Labour Code Deadline, Publish Rules in Hindi

Full Summary — powered by AI

The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) in Haryana has called for the state government to extend the deadline for submitting suggestions on the draft Labour Code rules and to publish these rules in Hindi. The current deadline for amendments to the draft rules for the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, and Social Security Code was initially set for one month after their release in early May 2026.

CITU leaders Jai Bhagwan and Satveer Singh submitted a memorandum on June 13, 2026, to Deputy Labour Commissioner Paramjit Dhull, arguing that releasing the draft rules only in English violates the fundamental rights of workers and other stakeholders. They highlighted that the Central Government’s versions of such rules are typically published in both Hindi and English.

The union also criticized the lack of consultation with trade unions and employer representatives before the notification of these draft rules, which they deem essential for changes impacting a large number of workers. CITU has requested that the deadline for suggestions be extended to July 10, 2026, to allow for proper review and input.

The new Labour Codes aim to consolidate 29 existing labor laws into four codes, but trade unions, including CITU, have expressed concerns that these codes could curtail workers’ rights. CITU has previously advocated for a minimum monthly wage of ₹36,000 and has protested against the implementation of the Central labor codes in their current form, urging state governments to introduce amendments to safeguard workers’ interests.
