Sule's 'Right to Disconnect' Bill Back, Ignites India's Work-Life Debate

  • NCP MP Supriya Sule reintroduced the "Right to Disconnect Bill" in Parliament.
  • The bill aims to give employees the legal right to disconnect from work communications after hours without adverse consequences.
  • It proposes companies establish rules for after-hours communication, form Employee Welfare Committees, and face penalties for violations.
  • The bill addresses concerns about burnout and blurred work-life boundaries, intensified by the digital-first work culture.
  • While workers show strong support, there's skepticism about its implementation given India's labor protection history.

Why It Matters: It forces a crucial debate on work-life balance for India's connected workforce.
