⚠ VARIES
The four Labour Codes are centrally in force, and the Central Rules under all four (Code on Wages, Social Security, Industrial Relations, and OSH) were finalised and notified on 8-9 May 2026 — no longer pending. State-level Rules remain a genuine patchwork: Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka had notified as of April 2026; several other states, including West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Nagaland, had not. Confirm your specific state's notification status for state-level procedural requirements.

Before you sign this document:
1. Update the jurisdiction. This template is drafted with placeholder city/state fields — replace them with your own business's actual location, not any example city shown in the document.
2. Print on valid stamp paper. This PDF is a drafting template, not an executable legal document on its own. Under the Indian Stamp Act, most agreements need to be printed on physical stamp paper (or e-stamped) of the correct value for your state before signing — an unstamped agreement may be inadmissible as evidence until the deficiency is paid. Confirm the correct stamp duty and process for your state before execution.
