NEW DELHI:A private member’s bill, which seeks to allow employees not to entertain work-related calls and emails outside work hours, was introduced in Lok Sabha on Friday.

Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members are allowed to introduce bills on subjects on which they think government should bring a law. Barring a few cases, most of the private member bills are withdrawn after government replies on the proposed law.

NCP MP Supriya Sule introduced the “Right to Disconnect Bill, 2025” which proposes to establish an 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.
