Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The tripartite Indian Labour Conference (ILC) was set up with three primary objectives: promoting uniformity in labour legislation (a), laying down a procedure for the settlement of industrial disputes (b), and discussing all matters of all-India importance between employers and employees (d). Fixing statutory minimum wages (c) is not a function of the ILC: under Sections 6 and 8 of the Code on Wages, 2019 (formerly the Minimum Wages Act, 1948), the minimum rates of wages are fixed and revised by the appropriate Government, subject to the floor wage fixed by the Central Government under Section 9. Hence every option that includes c is wrong.
