The Rajasthan Relief Undertakings (Special Provisions) Act, 1961

General19615 sections

The Rajasthan Relief Undertakings Act, 1961, regulates financially struggling industries in Rajasthan that the state government steps in to assist, acquire, or run. It applies directly to these designated industrial businesses and their workforce. The law matters because it helps prevent sudden business collapse and mass job losses by temporarily pausing lawsuits and suspending certain labor regulations or union agreements while the company recovers. However, workers must still be paid their wages, and the state government does not automatically become liable for these payments, providing a balanced, temporary safety net to keep crucial local industries afloat and many workers employed.
