Uttar Pradesh is all set to introduce e-courts to expedite resolution of labour related cases in the state.
UP labour department is driving transformative reforms to protect workers’ rights and boost industrial growth.
A new inspection policy and fast-track dispute resolution system are creating a fair, transparent, and business-friendly environment—positioning the state as a thriving industrial hub.
To ensure timely and effective resolution of labour issues, the Yogi Adityanath government is prioritising amicable settlements of industrial disputes.
Special attention is being paid to expediting cases related to gratuity, employee compensation, minimum wages, timely wage payments, equal remuneration, maternity benefits and working journalists.
To ensure justice and accountability, 100% compliance with labour court and tribunal decisions is being enforced.
An e-court system is being introduced to bring greater transparency, fairness and efficiency to dispute resolution through digital technology.
A transparent and accountable inspection mechanism has been introduced to benefit both workers and industries with an emphasis now on awareness and voluntary compliance.
According to the 2017 inspection policy, joint inspections are conducted on a randomised basis, and only with prior approval from the Labor Commissioner or a competent authority.
Newly registered establishments are exempt from inspections in the first year, and those opting for self-certification will undergo inspection only once within the first five years.
Employers must be notified 48 hours in advance via their registered mobile number, and inspectors are required to upload their inspection remarks on the portal within 48 hours—ensuring full transparency.
The policies are expected to significantly benefit the unorganised sector by enhancing social security and driving industrial productivity.
Transparent inspections and efficient dispute-resolution mechanisms will boost entrepreneurs’ confidence and accelerate the establishment of new industries.
This comprehensive approach marks a decisive step toward making Uttar Pradesh a national leader in labor welfare and industrial development.
These reforms not only aim to uplift workers’ living standards but also to give fresh momentum to the state’s economy.
