The eventual Social Security Code (SSC) gazetted on September 29, 2020, is a much-diluted version of its earlier somewhat comprehensive draft presented before the Parliament in 2018. The 2018 draft was comprehensive as it sought to cover, though inadequately, major components of social security. It was dumped probably due to heavy criticisms from all quarters especially from employers and trade unions. We must assess SSC in the light of its Preamble, the critical reviews and recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC), and the ILO instruments on social security.

The circus continues to rock. From deep inside Mumbai, it's like the Centre's nowhere in the picture. But push aside the facade like you do a curtain and the door opens to a vista wide open. You'll spot the footprints of the Centre as clearly as fish in unmuddied water.
