This is Sunil Kumar Tripathi's section-wise commentary on the Code on Social Security 2020, covering all 164 sections, the seven Schedules and the allied Rules and Schemes of 2026. The Code merges nine major welfare statutes – including the EPF Act, ESI Act, Gratuity Act, Maternity Benefit Act and Employees' Compensation Act – and each provision is shown in a two-column table beside the law it replaces, with Act-wise concordance tables.
Every section is explained through the bare text, the relevant rule, an overview, the comparison table, section notes and numbered comments; the 91 definitions in Section 2 alone receive more than 200 pages. Detailed case and subject indexes are keyed to paragraph numbers. The 2026 Edition is an authoritative reference for labour lawyers, PF and ESI consultants, HR and payroll professionals and employers. Hardbound, 2,040 pages.
