Dear Gaware,
There is specific provision for fine under The Payments of Wages Act 1936 under section 8 (1 to 8). As per provision of the Act, we can not directly impose fine on any employees. First of all, it is expected to release the Show cause, and provide him opportunity of showing cause against his misconduct. If reply is irrelevant or not acceptable the Charge sheet and departmental inquiry is suggested. And at the end of inquiry, Fine can be imposed as per The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act 1946 under Order 25 (b), on any employees in accordance with the provision of the Payment of Wages Act.
Hope it will be meet your requirement.
