Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

**Executive Summary** This notification, issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment on May 13, 2026, appoints Regional and Assistant Labour Commissioners (Central) as Registering Officers under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. Effective from the date of publication, it defines specific geographical jurisdictions for these officers across India and supersedes six previous notifications from 2016 and 2019. The order applies to all establishments for which the Central Government is the appropriate administrative authority. **Key Points / Main Content** **Legal Framework and Supersession** * **Statutory Authority:** The appointments are made in exercise of powers conferred by Section 3(1)(b) of the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. * **Repeal of Prior Notifications:** This document officially supersedes previous notifications S.O. 4195(E), 4198(E), 4200(E), 4290(E), 4293(E), and 4295(E). **Officer Designations** * **Registering Officers:** All Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) and Assistant Labour Commissioners (Central) within their respective regions are designated as Registering Officers. * **National Oversight:** Officers within the office of the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) in New Delhi are granted jurisdiction over the entirety of India. **Jurisdictional Assignments** * **Regional Clusters:** The notification divides the country into 21 specific jurisdictions, ranging from state-wide areas to specific district clusters. * **State-Specific Jurisdictions:** Entire states such as Rajasthan, Karnataka, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh are assigned to individual regional offices (Ajmer, Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar, Jabalpur, and Raipur respectively). * **District-Level Divisions:** In certain states, jurisdiction is split by district. For example: * **West Bengal:** Divided between the Asansol and Kolkata regions. * **Maharashtra:** Divided between the Mumbai and Nagpur regions. * **Uttar Pradesh:** Specific districts are allocated to the Kanpur region, while others fall under the Dehradun region. * **Union Territories:** UTs are integrated into regional jurisdictions, such as Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu being under the Ahmedabad region, and Lakshadweep under the Cochin region. **Impact Analysis** **Regional and Assistant Labour Commissioners (Central)** **Impact** These officers are now formally empowered as Registering Officers for their designated territories under the 2020 Code. **Action Required** They must assume responsibility for registration processes and regulatory oversight for all central establishments within their newly defined geographical boundaries. **Establishments under Central Government Jurisdiction** **Impact** Establishments must now interact with specific designated officers based on the updated jurisdictional map provided in the table. **Action Required** Employers must identify the correct Registering Officer for their specific location to ensure compliance with registration requirements under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020. **Ministry of Labour and Employment** **Impact** The Ministry streamlines its administrative framework by consolidating multiple legacy notifications into a single updated order. **Action Required** The Ministry must ensure the transition from the superseded 2016 and 2019 notifications to the current jurisdictional structure is communicated to all relevant departments.
