The University does not publish an official answer key for this paper. The answers in this volume are model answers, written to show how a full-mark answer is built. They are a study aid, not an authority on what an examiner marked.
The question paper reproduced here is the paper as set by the University of Mumbai at the Apr 2025 - ATKT 75/25 examination.
The answers in this volume state the law as it stands today, and in this subject that matters more than usual. Both Codes were passed in 2020 and came into force only on 21 November 2025, which is after the November 2024 paper was sat and nineteen days before the December 2025 paper. Between them they repealed twenty-two Acts, among them the Employee's Compensation Act 1923, the ESI Act 1948, the EPF Act 1952, the Maternity Benefit Act 1961, the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 and the Factories Act 1948, so notes printed before 2026 teach repealed statutes. The Central Rules under both Codes came into force on 8 May 2026. Two things are still not notified: the rate of an aggregator's contribution for gig and platform workers under section 114(4), and the date from which it is payable under section 114(5). Where an answer turns on a provision that has since changed, it gives both positions and says which is which.

How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
Q.1
Answer in one or two sentences.
Any six · , any 6 of 10 12 Marks
(1)Write any two salient features of The Code on Social Security, 2020.[2]
Answer
The Code on Social Security, 2020 (Act 36 of 2020) came into force on 21 November 2025. It replaced nine earlier laws on provident fund, insurance, maternity, gratuity and compensation. Two of its salient features are:
1. One Code in place of nine Acts. Section 164(1) repealed nine Acts. They include the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 and the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923 also went. Their subjects are now Chapters of one Code. The Code also uses one common definition of "wages" (section 2(88)).
2. Social security for gig, platform and unorganised workers. For the first time, the law covers gig workers and platform workers (sections 2(35) and 2(61)). The Government may frame schemes for them and for unorganised workers (sections 109 and 114). Aggregators may be asked to contribute one to two per cent of their annual turnover (section 114(4)).
Other features worth naming. A Social Security Fund for these workers (section 141). Registration linked to Aadhaar (section 142). Gratuity for fixed term employees in proportion to their service. And an Inspector-cum-Facilitator who advises as well as inspects.
The aim. The Code aims to extend social security to all workers, including those outside formal employment, and to make the law simpler to follow.
