Dear
in my view i card deduction is ok rest other deductions are illegal.even i card deduction also
should not be shown in this register

Dear Mr. Malik

All the deductions are as per the acts and rules.

Nothing is illegal in any of the deductions.

Each and every recovery is legal.

All the deductions are as per the agreement between the employee and the company.

Let me explain you each of them

1. Recovery of loss of I card :- this amount is recovered when an employee has lost his i Card and apply for the new one.

2.Employee Background verification expenses recovery : - If an employee left the company in probation period than the amount is recovered from him.

3. Notice period recovery - If an employee has left the company without serving the notice of desired period then the amount is recovered from him.

4. Joining exp recovery:- If we have paid some amount to employee to be paid to his earlier company because of non service of desired notice period and the employee has left the company in prbation period than the amount is recovered from him/

5. Service continuity Bond recovery - If the employee has not served the company for the period for which he has signed the bond, which is generally 2 years, then he has to pay the amount mentioned in the bond which he has signed at the time of joining.

All these types of recoveries are done by almost every MNC, PSU and Listed companies.

Dear Anonymous,
Employee Background verification is done by employer to serve their self purpose and how comes employee be liable for it.

Except the first one, issue of duplicate Id card, all are beyond the purview of Payment of Wages Act and therefore, not to be shown in the Register of Deductions. The amounts shown in the register is expected to be used for staff welfare activities only.
