Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

**Executive Summary** This notification, issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment on May 13, 2026, appoints specific officers to impose penalties under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. Exercising powers under Section 111(1) of the Code, the Central Government defines the geographical jurisdictions for Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) across 21 designated regions. These appointments are effective as of the publication date, May 14, 2026. **Key Points / Main Content** **Legal Authority and Purpose** * The appointments are made under sub-section (1) of section 111 of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (37 of 2020). * The primary purpose of these appointments is to authorize specific officers to impose penalties for violations of the Code within their respective jurisdictions. **Designated Officers** * The appointed officers are all Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) stationed across various regional offices. * The Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) in the office of the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), New Delhi, hold jurisdiction over the entirety of India. **Regional Jurisdictions** The document specifies 21 distinct regional jurisdictions, including: * **Broad State Jurisdictions:** Regions such as Ahmedabad (Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu), Ajmer (Rajasthan), Bengaluru (Karnataka), and Bhubaneshwar (Odisha). * **Shared/Divided Jurisdictions:** Specific districts are allocated between regions. For example, West Bengal is divided between the Asansol and Kolkata regions; Maharashtra is divided between the Mumbai and Nagpur regions; and Jharkhand is split between the Dhanbad and Patna regions. * **Special Territories:** Specific coverage for Union Territories including Lakshadweep and Puducherry (Cochin/Chennai/Hyderabad regions), Chandigarh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh (Chandigarh region), and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Kolkata region). * **North-East Coverage:** The Guwahati region covers Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, and Arunachal Pradesh. **Impact Analysis** **Regional Labour Commissioners (Central)** **Impact** These officers are now legally empowered and duty-bound to exercise quasi-judicial authority to impose penalties for non-compliance with the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. **Action Required** Officers must operate within the specific geographical boundaries defined in the Table to exercise their penalizing authority. **Employers and Industrial Establishments** **Impact** Establishments falling under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code are now subject to the penalty-imposing authority of their specific regional commissioner. **Action Required** Employers must identify their relevant jurisdictional officer based on the location of their operations to ensure compliance and address any legal proceedings related to penalties. **Ministry of Labour and Employment** **Impact** The Ministry establishes a decentralized enforcement mechanism for the 2020 Code, ensuring that legal oversight is distributed across all States and Union Territories. **Action Required** The Ministry, through the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), must oversee the implementation of these penal powers across the 21 defined regions.
