Under the Constitution of India, labour falls within the concurrent list giving power to both the Central and the respective State Government to legislate on such items, with the residual law-making powers vesting with the Centre.
This has resulted in a plethora of central and state laws related to wages, employment, industrial relations, social security, etc. being enacted to protect the interests of employees and to increase employment opportunities.
The following are only guidelines in the broadest sense, and professional legal services are recommended when employing in India.
