The Social Security Code consolidates social security-related labour laws into a single code. The Maternity Benefit Act (1), Payment of Gratuity Act (2), and Payment of Bonus Act (3) are all subsumed into this Code. However, the Employment Exchanges Act, 1959 is not part of the Social Security Code — it falls under the Code on Social Security's scope only partially, and the Employment Exchanges Act's functions have been reimagined under different provisions. The four Labour Codes together replace 29 central labour laws.
