The Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025 was tabled in the Lok Sabha by Supriya Sule, aiming to legally protect employees’ personal time and work-life balance in the digital age. The Bill recognises an employee’s right to disengage from work-related communication outside agreed working hours, while allowing employers flexibility to frame arrangements suited to their organisational culture. A key feature is the establishment of an Employees’ Welfare Authority, tasked with overseeing implementation, framing negotiation charters, conducting studies on hyper-connectivity, and promoting counselling, awareness programmes, and digital detox initiatives. Section 7 grants employees a statutory right not to respond to calls, emails, or messages after work hours, with no disciplinary consequences. If employees choose to respond, Section 11 mandates overtime pay at the normal wage rate. The Bill also addresses remote work by requiring mutually agreed policies and awareness measures. To ensure compliance, financial penalties of 1% of total employee remuneration are prescribed for violations, making the framework both rights-oriented and enforceable.
