What is Right to Disconnect Bill introduced in Lok Sabha and can it clear Parliament?

The bill, named Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025, was tabled in the Parliament on Friday and seeks establishment of an employees' welfare authority to protect their right, if granted, of not being legally bound to entertain work-related electronic commnunication after office hours or on holidays.

The Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025, a private member's bill introduced by the NCP MP, proposes to “establish employees’ welfare authority to confer the right on every employee to disconnect from work-related telephone calls and emails beyond work hours and on holidays”.

According to Sule, who shared a clip of her tabling the bill on X (previously Twitter), it “fosters a better quality of life and a healthier work-life balance by reducing the burnout caused by today's digital culture.”
