Why is the text not shown here?

Text not shown until permission is given. Omnikit does not have the Government of India's written permission to reproduce these laws. India Code's Terms of Use (updated 22 June 2026) forbid republishing without written permission, and the Legislative Department and the Ministry of Labour and Employment ask to be asked first. Until permission is given or an Indian advocate has reviewed these pages, Omnikit shows each law's name, what it covers, the calculators that use it and the official link.

Its Gazette copy of 1899 is not on egazette.gov.in, and the Schedule articles the calculators cite were inserted by later amending Acts.
