Code on Social Security, 2020
Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
Industrial Relations Code, 2020
Code on Wages, 2019
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Code on Social Security, 2020
The Code on Social Security, 2020 subsumed the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923, and Chapter VII (sections 73 to 99) now governs compensation for employment injuries. The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code deals with safety and working conditions, not compensation for injuries.
