Which of the following is not affected by the provisions of Chapter III (Trade Unions) of the…

The proviso to section 2(zl) of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (the definition of ‘Trade Union’) provides that the provisions of Chapter III of the Code shall not affect: (i) any agreement between partners as to their own business; (ii) any agreement between an employer and those employed by him as to such employment; or (iii) any agreement in consideration of the sale of the goodwill of a business or of instruction in any profession, trade or handicraft (formerly the proviso to s.2(h) of the Trade Unions Act, 1926). Since all three agreements are protected, choosing any single one alone would be incomplete; hence all of the given options are correct.
