Question and options
Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, which statement about Conciliation Officers is NOT correct?
- They are appointed by the appropriate government
- They are appointed by State Government
- They are charged with the duty of mediating in the industrial disputes
- They are duty bound to promote the settlement of industrial disputes
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - They are appointed by State Government
Under Section 43(1) of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (in force from 21 November 2025, formerly Section 4 of the repealed Industrial Disputes Act, 1947), conciliation officers are appointed by the 'appropriate Government', which may be the Central Government or a State Government. Saying they are appointed by the State Government alone is therefore incorrect.
