NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government has decided to come up with new rules for maintenance of registers by enterprises to ensure compliance to at least nine crucial labour laws after it failed miserably to bring about any significant improvement in India’s ranking in the latest World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business report. In a draft notification, titled ‘Ease of Compliance to Maintain Registers under various Labour Laws Rules, 2016’, the Bandaru Dattatreya-led labour ministry has proposed issuing new forms that will work as a combined register which can be maintained by enterprises either electronically or otherwise and can be provided at the time of inspection under any of the nine labour laws mentioned in the draft notification for the ease of compliance.
