'''Indian Federation of Labour''' is a federation of [[trade union]]s in [[India]]. IFL was founded in 1941 by [[M.N. Roy]], after a split from the [[All India Trade Union Congress]]. IFL strongly supported the British war effort. Maniben Kara was a prominent IFL leader in the railways and V.B. Karnik was a prominent IFL leader amongst the dock workers.<ref>Ornati, Oscar.

In 1944 IFL was widely discredited as it was revealed that the organisation had received funding from the British authorities. IFL was able to retain some influence in [[Bombay]] and maintained contacts in scattered pockets. After the war, both AITUC and IFL were recognised by the government, for the purpose of representing Indian labour in the [[ILO]].<ref name="park"/><br />

In December 1948 IFL merged into the [[Hind Mazdoor Sabha]].<ref name="park"/><br />
