The most important change will be affecting doctors, YouTubers, and influencers.

However, if the product is returned to the company after using the services, it will not fall under Section 194R.
New Labour codes
The government had released four Labour Codes to amend the rules governing employer-employee relations and modify labour laws. From working hours to in-hand salary, several aspects concerning employment and work culture may change in case the new labour codes are implemented. The four broad codes spanning from wages, industrial relations, social security, and occupational safety, health, to working conditions (OSH) have been notified after getting the President's assent.
