If these rules are implemented, then not only will the working hours increase, but the salary that comes to your hands may also decrease (Take-home Salary Cut). However, the Provident Fund (PF) money will increase. In the midst of all these questions, it has been learned that the Labor Ministry will not be able to implement the new rules from October 1, 2021. The first reason for this is the lack of preparation of the states and the second is being told about the elections to be held in 5 states of the country including Uttar Pradesh.
