Q103 (CISF/2021) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Name of which of the following legislations has been changed in the year 2009 ?

Explanation

The Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923 was renamed the Employee's Compensation Act, 1923 following the enactment of the Workmen's Compensation (Amendment) Act, 2009 (Act No. 45 of 2009). This legislative change was primarily aimed at making the law gender-neutral and more inclusive by substituting the term "workman" with "employee" throughout the statute. The amendment received the President's assent on December 22, 2009. The other legislations mentioned—the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act (1952), the Payment of Gratuity Act (1972), and the Employees' State Insurance Act (1948)—did not undergo a change in their primary titles during that year, although they are subject to periodic amendments regarding their provisions and coverage limits.
