Statistics on Trade Unions are collected annually by the Labour Bureau of the Ministry of Labour, Government of India.

The net result of this type of system is debated as it has both advantages and disadvantages. According to the data submitted by various trade unions to the Ministry of Labour and Employment as part of a survey, INTUC with a combined membership of 33.3 million, has emerged as the largest trade union in India as of 2013.
