Preface
HR roles are not one size fits all. Depending on the title, an HR worker’s responsibilities
can vary significantly. Some HR managers are solely responsible for staffing, others
concentrate on employee development, some deal strictly with compensation and
benefits, and others—the generalists—do it all.
These professionals are tasked with frequent on-the-spot decisions that can have severe
legal consequences, so knowledge of common HR-related laws gives these industry
workers the confidence to make these decisions or know when to contact outside
counsel.
HR professionals with legal expertise also have a competitive advantage in the
workplace, as they are able to proactively minimize a company’s exposure to legal risk.
With working knowledge of current laws and their real-world applications, they help
companies remain compliant and avoid unnecessary claims while also protecting the
rights of valued employees

and assistance from many people and I am extremely privileged to
have got this all along the completion of my project. All that I have
done is only due to such supervision and assistance and I would not
forget to thank them.
I owe my deep gratitude to our project guide Mr VIKAS OHRI, who took
keen interest on our project work and guided us all along, till the
completion of our project work by providing all the necessary
information for developing a good system.
I am thankful to and fortunate enough to get constant encouragement,
support and guidance from VIKAS SIR which helped me in successfully
completing the project work. Also, I would like to extend our sincere
esteems to REAL PRO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL for their timely support.

INTRODUCTION
John R. Commons, a pioneering economist, first coined the term “human resource” in
his book "The Distribution of Wealth," which was published in 1893. However, it was not
until the 19th century when the developed HR departments to address
misunderstandings between employees and their employers.
How HR Works
An HR department is an essential, if not critical, component of any business regardless of
the organization's size. It focuses on maximizing employee productivity and protecting
the company from any issues that may arise from the workforce. HR responsibilities
include compensation and benefits, recruitment, firing, and keeping up to date with any
laws that may affect the company and its employees.

Introduction
Maternity benefit act was legally introduced in India for the first time in Bombay
Legislative council on 28th July 1928, Dr.B.R.Ambedhkar supported and defended it. The
act was enacted by Parliament in the 12th year of Republic of India on 12th December
1961 as Act no.53 of 1961.The main objective of this act is to regulate the employment
of the women for certain period of time before and after the child birth. To provide
maternity benefit and certain other benefits, this act is applicable to the factories,
mines, plantations, government establishments, shops and establishments under
government Legislative or others recognised by the central government in which ten or
more persons employed or were employed on any day of the preceding twelve months.
Amendments to the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961
In the year 2017, Government of India approved the bill of amendment to the Maternity
Benefit act, 1961. Following were the Amendments approved.
Maternity benefit leave duration has increased from twelve weeks to twenty six
weeks and it is not applicable for the mother having children’s more than two.
A commissioning mother shall be entitled to maternity benefit for twelve weeks
from the day she handed the baby under commissioning or adoption.
Crèche facility should be provided if the establishment has more than fifty
employees. Mother is allowed to crèche four times a day and the period of visit is
considered as interval of break or rest.
Based on the constraints in the organization, women have the facility to work at
home after the maternity leave, based on mutual understanding between
employee and employer.
The new amendment is applicable to all contractual and consultant women employees.
Women who are already in leave are benefitted to the new amendment. Protection of
women in case she is fired by the employer after learning her pregnancy. The benefits of
new act can be extended to un-organised sector.

Observations
An exploratory maternity leave form twelve weeks to twenty six weeks has changed the
position of India to top 10 countries in the world. With the flexible maternity leave
system in India people are allowed to work home option, crèche facility, more easily
reachable to unorganised sectors changed the India to one of the best country for
women to work. All this credit goes to the recent amendment implemented by the
government of India. The sad thing was this amendment has taken birth after fifty six
years of maternity benefit act implemented. But this amendment act bought huge
positive environment, protection, security to all the women in the country. Nearly 1.8
million women who are working in an un-organised sector are benefitted by this bill.
Following were the positive outputs form the bill.
Good for baby growth – this act helps the baby to grow in stress free
environment and a better child care.
A study shows that the depth of mortality rate of infants dropped by nearly ten
percentages.
Improved and better relationship between the mother and infant.
Due to these benefits the mental health of women was improved. A study shows
that the depression levels of mothers who are fifty years old or approximately
after thirty years has decreased.
Now this act can be easily utilised by the UN – organised sector women.
There is significant amount of reduction of working mothers drop out.
4
oEx: - Google Company raised the maternity leave from twelve weeks to eighteen
weeks, result was fifty percentage of working mothers preferred not to leave the
company.
It is an win-win strategy for both the employee and employer. After maternity
leave so many mothers worked more hours.
Good for economy of our country. Turnover of businesses was raised to good
amount. No need to spend excess training cost.
Women who preferred public assistance dropped to good amount.
Increased labour force participation.
Introduction
Tax is today an important source of revenue for the government in all the countries. It
has
Become inevitable imposition because it has great potentials for raising funds for
meeting the development and defence need of a nation. In other word taxes on income,
sale, purchase, and properties collected to run Government machineries. There are two
types of taxes:-
Direct tax is a tax which is borne and paid by the person on whom it is impose is a
direct tax.
Wealth tax, Income tax, Gift tax, etc. It is directly paid by the tax payer to the
government without any
Intermediary and it comes from own pocket.
Indirect tax is passes on by the tax payer to some other person, it is an indirect tax
e.g. sales tax
Value Added Tax (Vat), goods and Services Tax (GST). It is not directly paid by the
person on whom it is levied, but is paid indirectly through the medium of other
person.

Income tax was first introduced in India in 1860 by the British ruler James Wilson who
was also the 1st Finance Member of India, in order to meet heavy expenses and losses
suffered by the rulers due to India’s first freedom movement of 1857. It was introduced
as a temporary revenue measure only for five years.
The history of Income tax in India can be divided into three periods:
1860-1885
1886-1914
1914 to date
At present, the Income Tax Act 1961 is forced in India. The present Income tax
act was enacted in 1961,
Which came into force on 1st April 1962, in 1956, the government referred the
Income Tax Act to the Law commission which submitted its report in 1958. Direct
Taxes Administration Enquiry Commission was appointed in 1958 under the
chairmanship of Shri Mahavir Tyagi. On the basis of recommendation of both
these bodies the present IT Act was enacted. This Act of 1961 has since Been
Amended number of times.

AGRICULTURAL INCOME
Income from agriculture is exempt from income tax. It has to be exempted because the
Indian parliament has no powers under the constitution to levy tax on agricultural
income. Only the state legislatures have the power to impose any tax on agricultural
income.

CHAPTER 3
MINIMUM WAGES ACT 1948
14
The Minimum Wages Act of 1948 was one of India’s first legislations relating to working
rights. The Act laid down detailed procedures for setting and listing minimum wages in
various industries. The fixation of wages was to be made by appropriate governments
(Central and State levels), for different scheduled employments (based on skilled and
unskilled labour, agricultural and non-agricultural employments, and minimum wages
determined for different industries across various States in India) under their domain for
a specific time period (Srija 2014). British India did not have any laws relating to
minimum wages, which were determined by an agreement between the employer and
the employee (often based on unequal bargaining power between the two parties;
Labor Bureau, Ministry of Labor and Employment, 2005). The purpose of the Minimum
Wages Act was therefore to provide more rights to the workingman.
The Tripartite Committee on Fair Wages appointed in 1948 defined three different levels
of wages: a living wage, a fair wage, and a minimum wage (Sampath 2016). Living wages
were defined as salaries allowing a person to afford a decent standard of living for
himself and for his/her family. This definition of dignified wages was considered as the
nation’s ultimate goal (Mehboob M &Asmat R 2016). However, it was also suggested
that wage levels should take into account the national level of industrial capacity. A third
factor in equating fair wages should be based on productivity. The committee
acknowledged that general wage levels were low and stated that an equilibrium must be
created between employee subsistence and general productivity. Finally, the minimum
wage was to be determined not only on the basis of subsistence but also on labour
efficiency. These observations and objectives formed the essence of the Minimum Wage
Act (Mehboob M &Asmat R 2016).
15
and speedy compensation process. The provision of an advisory committee and advisory
board was to give equal representation to the workingman and the employer so as to
reduce the unequal bargaining power characterizing their relationship. The Act thus
provided a quick remedy to labour disputes through a summary procedure which would
ensure citizen protection with penalty and subsequent prosecution of offending party.
Development over the years
The National Floor Level Commission introduced in 1991 the idea of a National Floor
Level Minimum Wage aiming to reduce the disparity between minimum and more
generally different levels of average wage across the country. The National Floor Level
Minimum Wage has been updated from time to time, keeping in view the rise in the
consumer price index and according to recommendations from the Central Advisory
Board. It is to be noted that the National Floor Level Minimum Wage is not a statutory
measure. This means that the State does not have an obligation to increase the
minimum wage in accordance with advices emitted from this body, which works instead
as more of a persuasive means for uplifting the minimum wages (Ministry of Labor and
Employment).
The Minimum Wage Law is assisted by other legal instruments. These include the
Payment of Wages Act of 1936, the Payment of Bonus Act of 1965 and the Equal
Remuneration Act of 1976.
Comparison of minimum wages between federated states
While the Minimum Wages Act is a Central legislation, the actual rules referring to
Minimum Wages arrangements are mostly (in most professions) set out by the
authorities of the federated States. Thus it would perhaps be a good exercise to
compare two States who have predominantly voted for left-leaning governments and
see how they fare in relation to each other. Another interesting exercise would be to
compare two states with a numerous workforce employed in the primary sector.
It is usually understood that the labour market provides higher wages when there are
efficient collective bargaining mechanisms in place. The type of parties who have
facilitated this bargaining process include the Labour Party in the United Kingdom and
self-identified Left parties in India. For the first comparison, that between two states run
by left-leaning parties, we shall look at West Bengal and Kerala. Both States have known
to be populated with Left supporters and both championed the Land Ceiling act when it
was first implemented in the 1970s.
16
A report by the Labour Bureau (Ministry of Labour and Employment 2011), states the
minimum wage for Agricultural activities as amounting to Rs.167 per day in West Bengal
and Rs.150in Kerala. However, in an article by Syria (2014), further studies by the author
lead to the claim that the actual wages in Kerala amount to Rupees. 331 for men and Rs.
239 for women whereas in West Bengal they only amount to Rs.113 and Rs.100
respectively. Further, in a report by (Sarkar 2015, p.17), it has been shown that in 2014,
the daily wages of plantation workers in Bengal amounted to Rs.95 in comparison to
Rs.216.53 in Kerala. There is a stark variation in the rates decided by the respective
governments and thus the actual wages being paid. This shows that the government’s
determination and policy relating to minimum wages is not by itself enough of a driving
force to ensure higher wages for the workers. State action must be coupled with strong
collective bargaining through trade unions which ensure that the workers get a fair hand
at negotiating the wages for themselves and do not only rely on the rates fixed by the
government. It is imperative here to point out that the minimum wage set should be
treated as the floor and the workers should indeed only negotiate amounts over and
above that level, as is the case in Kerala. However, in states like West Bengal even the
minimum standard is breached. One must also be wary of the fact that over-
unionisation might actually be harmful insofar as it may lead employers to look for
cheaper migrant labour from other states, a trend which is visible in the information
contained in the Census of India (Office of the Registrar General & Census
Commissioner, India 2001). We can clearly see a wave of workers from Tamil Nadu and
the neighbouring states migrating to Kerala in search of better salaries.
Four our second comparison, we shall be comparing an agrarian state – Uttar Pradesh -
with West Bengal. Uttar Pradesh provides a fair comparison considering that agriculture
in the state has been highly researched upon and is the dominant sector employing
according to Awasthi (2014) a great number of workers. As per the report of Labour
Bureau (2013), minimum wages in the cotton textiles sector has been steadily superior
in Kolkata than in Kanpur from 1967 to 2012. In fact, on a comparison of real daily
wages, one can see that they have decreased in Kanpur from Rs.4.13 to Rs.3.61 whereas
Kolkata has on the contrary seen a slight increase in real wages. The report shows that,
from a historical perspective, West Bengal has fared better than Uttar Pradesh,
providing its workers better wages even though it is still far behind the truly pro-labour
state of Kerala.
The Central Government might pass the Minimum Wage Code Bill soon (Khetarpal
2017). This legal act would allow the central government to set a wage below which no
state government could endeavour. Though this might seem like a progressive step,
whether it would actually benefit the labour.
17
would depend on the Federal Government’s political choices. The Centre could give in to
regional powers and thus set a low floor that would not have any positive effect on
current standards.

8
The ground realities of the implementation of the Minimum Wages Act have been
discussed in a Public Interest Litigation (Social Jurist v Government of N.C.T of Delhi [2012])
filed by an NGO Social Jurist against the Delhi Government
Legal remedies available for violations of minimum wages
The obvious legal remedy for the violations in the payment of minimum wages is available
under the section 12 of The Minimum Wages Act, 1948. It can be coupled with section 21,
Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 wherein the aggrieved can move
against a contractor registered under
19
the Act. In case there are discriminatory practices between male and female workers,
Article 14 of the Constitution of India can also be invoked along with the Equal
Remuneration Act, 1976.
The matters under the Minimum Wages Act can be taken up before
the Labour Commissioner appointed under section 20 of the Act.
Violations under the Contract Labour Act can be taken up by the
Courts on the application made by the inspectors appointed under
the Act. For violations of Equal Remuneration, authorities appointed
under section 7 of the Act can be approached. Moreover, all the
claims can be taken up the High Courts under Article 226 and by the
Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, as these
courts have original jurisdiction. Further, courts can also take
cognisance of violations of such labour laws through public interest
litigation wherein a third party files a suit for the aggrieved
individuals. (People’s Union for Democratic Rights v Union of India
and Others, [1982])

CHAPTER 4
INTRODUCTION
The practice of paying bonus in India appears to have originated during First
World War when certain textile mills granted 10% of wages as war bonus to their
workers in 1917. In certain cases of industrial disputes demand for payment of
bonus was also included. In 1950, the Full Bench of the Labour Appellate evolved
a formula for determination of bonus. A plea was made to raise that formula in
1959. At the second and third meetings of the Eighteenth Session of Standing
Labour Committee (G. O.I.) held in New Delhi in March/April 1960, it was agreed
that a Commission be appointed to go into the question of bonus and evolve
suitable norms. A Tripartite Commission was set up by the Government of India to
consider in a comprehensive manner, the question of payment of bonus based on
profits to employees employed in establishments and to make recommendations to
the Government. The Government of India accepted the recommendations of the
Commission subject to certain modifications. To implement these
recommendations the Payment of Bonus Ordinance, 1965 was promulgated on
29th May, 1965. To replace the said Ordinance the Payment of Bonus Bill was
introduced in the Parliament.
21

As our conversation was come to an end he said that am about to going to share what you
need to grow. Two things 1st is Varity of new people you meet and they always going to
teach you something and the other is tendency to human mind. It’s a puzzle no one can
guess what a person is going to do.
You need to work on this and make yourself that expert that you can tackle the challenges.
He did his schooling from La Martienere Lucknow and completed his graduation from
Aligarh Muslim University. His first job was with Hitachi and went to become the zonal head
of north India from a graduate engineer trainee. He is an inspiration for his business skills
but for so many other things too. He told me that his biggest accomplishment is that “you
know Amar my biggest accomplishment is not that I had fulfil all of my goals or the
materialist things. It is that i had overcome the fear of stammering. I am always inspired by
the quote ‘you need to work for the growth’ and I hope by the end of this internship you
will also overcome your fear”. He conquered his fear with so much passion and now he is a
public speaker. In fact his motto in life is to be always a people’s person and he wants to be
a guiding source for people.

CONCLUSION
The labour law of our country is protecting the rights of every single worker of this country.
The SKP where I am an intern. They have all the work ethics and they respect their clients
and customers.
Since, the company doesn’t have any labour law they file Income Tax every year
So’ you can say that if VU have been a bigger organization than it would have follow some
more laws of labour law. May be in the upcoming years VU might become a large
organisation.
