The Code on Wages, 2019 consolidates and replaces how

Solution

Explanation: The Code on Wages, 2019 was enacted to consolidate and simplify India's wage-related labour laws by  amalgamating four earlier statutes : (i) the Payment of Wages Act, 1936; (ii) the Minimum Wages Act, 1948; (iii) the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965; and (iv) the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976. The  Industrial Disputes Act, 1947  is not subsumed under the Code on Wages it is instead covered under the  Industrial Relations Code, 2020 , which is a separate labour code. The Code on Wages applies to all employments where any industry, trade, business, or manufacture is carried out, making its coverage significantly wider than the individual acts it replaced.
