We would not have been able to complete this book without the strong support of our team and timely assistance from them, who took time out of their busy schedules to help us in completing this book.
First and foremost we would like to thank Ms Prachi for her infinite support. Ms Prachi (M.B.A (HR), D.L.L) is one of the finest HR professional and has worked with prestigious banks. She has good in-hand knowledge of Industrial Relations & Labour Laws. Among other things she has a flair for writing. I thank her for her ideas in making this book reader friendly and appealing. She has done most of the spade work for us. At times, the work pressure was so high, we felt we should defer the plan of writing the book; but, she helped me in every possible way to complete what we had started.
We would also like to thank Mr Vaibhav Munjal (MBA, LLB) for his ardent efforts and for providing support in doing research work. He has helped us in preparing write-ups, tables and figures. He has unparalleled perseverance and we thank him for taking time out for the purpose of this book.
My gratitude goes out to the publishers of this book, Bloomsbury India and all the fine people in the editorial team, including Mr Toby Thomas, Ms Komal Chadha and Ms Nikita Jain. They have been extremely patient and have put in an equal amount of time and efforts to perfect this publication.

Labour laws in India are of recent vintage and have developed in sync with increased awakening of employees in respect of their rights, particularly in the post-independence era. The employee-employer relationship forms an integral part of Industry. A good employee is an asset, and an employer is always interested in production, rendering of services and performance of duties as assigned to an employee.
There is no country in the world where fiduciary relationship amongst employer and employee exhibit themselves so extensively and in such varied forms as in India. A compliant set up always attracts good employees in comparison to an unprofessional organisation. The compliances under labour laws are so varied and keeping a tab on same has constantly been a task. Non adherence to the compliances attracts prosecutions and penalty.
With the advent of the technology observing compliances has become easier and in this publication, we have narrated the online processes wherever applicable to make it useful and practical.
To make this book of practical use, frequently asked questions have been made part of every chapter with reference, in boxes, of those case studies that are of common concerns faced by organisations from time to time.
This edition discusses landmark cases to understand the enactments while synchronising them with the compliances to be followed thereof.
We trust this edition will receive warm welcome and serve effectively the needs of Advocates, Consultants and HR-Professionals.
