The Payment of Wages (Amendment) Act, 2017 has been passed on 15th Feb, 2017, with retrospective effect (w.e.f. 28th day of December, 2016.) by repealing Payment of Wages (Amendment) Ordinance, 2016.

Please find the copy of Payment of Wages (Amendment) Act, 2017 enclosed herewith.

This amendment is of not much benefit to employees.
1.The Act is not applicable to employees with salary above Rs 18000/pm.
2.Appropriate govts have to specify each and every establishment where the amendment is applicable, ie which establishment shall pay through bank.
3.It would have been better if govt had power to apply it to class of establishments.

In the recent change in Payment of Wages act was that, wages shall be paid either thru cheque or crediting into employee bank according by the employer. However as mentioned by few friends that wages has been revised to 18000/- per month. Is there any gazette notification please share.

rsjlexsys,
The attachment which you have shared does not contain amendment in wages escalation to 18000/-. Please share notification if you have.

Dear members.
I am sharing the Govt notification on specification of Rs. 18000/- as wages as per Section 6(6) of the Payment of Wages Act 1936.

Now, as per recent notification Rs.24000 wages instead of Rs.18000/- to be considered

Attached is the Wage Ceiling Under The Payment Of Wages Act Increased From 18,000 To 24,000.
