An agreement arrived at between the management and the workmen on their own without any interference from the government under section 18(1) is referred to as a Bipartite settlement. It is applicable to those who are a party to the settlement.
A Tripartite agreement is arrived at during conciliation proceedings before the conciliation officer and is referred to as a Tripartite settlement. This covers all workmen present and future and all unions, even if they are not a party to the settlement. This is called a 12(3) settlement.

Dear Vijay,
You do not need to have sample copies of both agreements because the demands may vary. The only difference will be at the place of signature: in a Tripartite agreement, it will be signed by three people including the government body, whereas in a Bipartite agreement, it will only have the signatures of the employer (management) and labor representatives.
Thank you.
