Inventors include Aakash Y Raj; and Gopi Ranga Nath V.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A platform (100) for collective bargaining in public sector undertakings reconciles payroll check-off deduction records, the muster roll and trade union membership registers using a worker identifier key. A reconciliation engine (124) classifies each worker as verified, dual, unmatched or ineligible. Dual membership is resolved by check-off evidence, then the latest authorisation, then worker confirmation. Verified shares are compared with configurable thresholds to declare a sole negotiating union or to form a negotiating council with proportionally allotted seats. Every snapshot, decision and result is stored in a hash-chained ledger (132), and a verification certificate (134) allows any third party to detect alteration. FIG. 1
