Which of the following labour related Acts have been amalgamated into the 'Code on Wages, 2019'?I.Minimum Wages ActII.Payment of Bonus ActIII.The Contract Labour ActIV.Equal Remuneration ActSelect the correct answer using the codes given below. Codes:

1. A

   I and II only

   I and II only is incomplete. The Code on Wages, 2019 also subsumed the Equal Remuneration Act, which is statement IV. Leaving IV out makes this option not the key.

2. B

   II and III only

   II and III only pairs the bonus law with the Contract Labour Act. The Contract Labour Act was not amalgamated into the Code on Wages; it belongs to another labour-code stream. This option is therefore wrong.

3. C

   I, II and IV only

   I, II and IV only is the official key. The Code on Wages, 2019 amalgamated the Minimum Wages Act, the Payment of Wages Act, the Payment of Bonus Act and the Equal Remuneration Act. In this paper’s list that is Minimum Wages (I), Payment of Bonus (II) and Equal Remuneration (IV). The Contract Labour Act (III) was not folded into the wage code. Hence I, II and IV only.

4. D

   I, II, III and IV

   I, II, III and IV wrongly includes the Contract Labour Act. That statute is not part of the Code on Wages, 2019. This option is not the key.

Summary. Official key is (c) I, II and IV only. The wage code unified the main wage, bonus and equal-pay statutes. Contract labour regulation was left to a different code, so III is out. Options that stop at I–II or that swallow all four Acts fail. Only (c) matches the amalgamation.
