Is It a Legal Right to Receive a Salary Slip? Seeking Clarity on Employment Laws

Can someone advise if a salary slip is a legal right of an employee? Can this be substantiated with any law or statutory requirement if an appointment letter has been issued?

Thanks and regards,

Yes, under the Payment of Wages Act, it is necessary to issue a salary slip to every employee.

Yes, it is mandatory under the Minimum Wages Act and the Shops and Establishments Act. If a wage slip is issued and the salary is credited to the employee's designated bank account, it constitutes sufficient compliance. The signature of the employee on the wage register, affixing a revenue stamp, is not necessary under the Payment of Wages Rules as amended.

I hope I have addressed the query to the best of my knowledge and in my considered opinion.
