                                   ABSTRACT

       The Economic  Survey of India 2017 statistics reveal that interstate migration
       in India between 2011 and 2016 averaged close to 9 million per year. The
       plight of these interstate migrant workers was brought to light during the
       nation's first lockdown. The event also brought to light the flaws and
       shortcomings in the law governing inter-state migrant workers, The Inter-state
       Workmen's  (Regulation of Employment  and Conditions of Service) Act,
       1979. The lawsgoverning Inter-state migrant workers have undergone major
       revisions because of the introduction of new labor codes. The Occupational
       Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code, 2019 currently incorporates
       the  provisions of  the  Inter-State Migrant Workmen(Regulation  of
       Employment  and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979.

       This article's main objective is to assess the inadequacies of the previous
       legislation i.e., the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment
       and Conditions of Service) Act. Compare the provisions in the new code with
       those in the Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and
       Conditions of Service) Act to see the most significant changes that have been
       made  to the code regarding inter-state migrant workers. This article focuses
       particularly on the important issues that should have been covered by the new
       labor laws as well as the highlights and drawbacks of its Inter-State migrant
       worker provisions.

       Keywords:  Inter-State migrant workers, Labour Codes, Inter-State Migrant
       Workmen   (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, The
       Occupational  Safety, Health, and Working   Conditions Code,  2019.
