Section Text
(1) The provisions of this Chapter shall have
effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law including standing
orders made under Chapter IV: Provided that where under the provisions of any other Act or rules,
orders or notifications issued thereunder or under any standing orders or any award, contract or service
or otherwise, a worker is entitled to benefits in respect of any matter which are more favourable to him
than those to which he would be entitled under this Code, the worker shall continue to be entitled to the
more favourable benefits in respect of that matter, notwithstanding that he receives benefits in respect
of other matters under this Chapter.
(2) For the removal of doubts, it is hereby declared that nothing contained in this Chapter shall be
deemed to affect the provisions of any other law for the time being in force in any State in so far as that
law provides for the settlement of industrial disputes, but the rights and liabilities of employers and
workers in so far as they relate to lay-off and retrenchment shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of this Chapter.
