The new labour code rules were notified by the central government on May 8, 2026 and this means employees who are working in such a company where central government labour code rules apply can expect to get the benefits of the new labour code. One such benefit is creche allowance of at least Rs 500 per month per child for maximum two children till the child’s six years age.
Earlier, the old labour law said that companies need to construct a creche facility, now the law says either construct or pay a monthly money to the employee. Thus you need to check with your company if they have their own creche facility or are willing to pay you the creche allowance.
