The International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions 138 (Minimum Age Convention, 1973) and 182 (Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999) are the two fundamental conventions specifically dealing with child labour.

Convention 138 establishes a minimum age for employment or work, which should not be less than the age of completion of compulsory schooling and, in any case, not less than 15 years (with exceptions for developing countries).
Convention 182 calls for immediate and effective measures to secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, such as slavery, child trafficking, debt bondage, forced labour, recruitment for armed conflict, prostitution, pornography, and hazardous work.

India has ratified both ILO Conventions 138 and 182. These conventions are considered among the eight fundamental conventions of the ILO, covering core labour rights.
