Keeping in view the inhuman conditions of women in all spheres and working women in particular, the Indian Government within the framework of a democratic polity, its new laws, development policies, plans and programmes for the working population especially for working women in both organised and unorganised sectors of employment have aimed at women’s welfare in various spheres of life. Thus, in this paper, an attempt has been made to discuss the women relating labour welfare provisions and the need for the further reformation of labour laws in India including the key highlights of four New Labour Codes on Wages, Industrial Relations, Social Security and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions. It has been observed in this paper that the concept of women empowerment has to devolve to all administrative units for effective execution. In view of the limited resources of the country, the welfare schemes underlying these laws have proved to be extremely difficult and challenging especially for working women in both organised and unorganised sectors. In the last few decades a significant shift in policy and number of approaches “legislative and administrative”, supported by the judiciary having positive impact on women in general, and working women in particular, have been implemented. But the heterogeneous nature, patriarchal character and traditional ethos of Indian society with economic and social inequalities have negative impact on the status and position of women.
