Foregone Salary

beckmandal
If an employee does not collect his salary for X number of years or lets say that he has foregone his salary (not officially) then what happens to that salary. Does that need to be credited to some government account after a said number of years? If there is an Act and Section (which there should be) do also assist me with that.

Hello beckmandal,
Pl give more details of the issue/situation, since it's ages that all government employees' salaries are deposited in salary accounts in the respective Banks.
When the salary is deposited into the individual's bank account, it's no more Govt's money. It's upto the individual concerned to make proper arrangements with his/her bank branch to handle the money.

Hi,
Yes, there is a Act called West Bengal Labour Welfare Fund Act. Please read this para...
Under Rule 4 of the West Bengal Labour Welfare Fund Rules, 1976 every employer of a factory or commercial establishment etc. shall send the Welfare Commissioner, West Bengal Labour Welfare Board unpaid accumulation i.e. the sum of money due to the employees on account of wages, bonus, gratuity etc., but actually not paid to them within a period of 3 yrs. from the date on which they become due and all fines realized from the employees of its establishment during the quarters ending 31st March, 30th June, 30th September and 31st December within 15 days from the closing of each quarter. The payment of unpaid accumulations and fines shall be accompanied by a statement giving full particulars of the amounts paid.
Any amount payable by an employer to the Welfare Commissioner, West Bengal Labour Welfare Board may be paid in cash or by bank cheque or by money order or by bank draft.

Hello beckmandal,
Pragnaa HRCS has given the right approach to handle the situation you mentioned.
Looks like I mistook/misread that you were referring to govt employees in my earlier posting to this thread.

Such unpaid salary is credited to unpaid salary account. Such employee is required to lodge an application to the Drawing & Disbursing Officer who in turn is required to verify his records and pass the debit voucher for
payment by the Paying Authority.
