“Labour” is in the Concurrent List of the Constitution and under the

Labour Codes, the powers to make rules have been entrusted to
Central Government as well as State Governments. Therefore,
pursuant to enactment of the four Labour Codes, States/UTs are
required to take appropriate action for formulation of the Rules in their
sphere. In this regard, the Central Government engages with
States/UTs through correspondence and regular meetings. So far, nine
such meetings have been held with State/UT Governments.
