In 2018 Supriya Sule, a member of the Lok Sabha, introduced the Right to Disconnect Bill. It was to give every employee the right “to disconnect from work related telephone calls and emails beyond work hours.” She introduced it again in 2019 and in December 2025.
The 2025 version would let employees ignore work messages after hours and would require overtime pay when they respond. It is a private member’s bill, and it has not been passed.
