Hi,

Please refer the following with regard to Fines as per Payment of Wages Act

Section 8 in The Payment of Wages Act, 1936
8. Fines.—
(1) No fine shall be imposed on any employed person save in respect of such acts and omissions on his part as the employer, with the previous approval of 38 [the appropriate Government] or of the prescribed authority, may have specified by notice under sub-section (2).
(2) A notice specifying such acts and omissions shall be exhibited in the prescribed manner on the premises in which the employment is carried on or in the case of persons employed upon a railway (otherwise than in a factory), at the prescribed place or places.
(3) No fine shall be imposed on any employed person until he has been given an opportunity of showing cause against the fine, or otherwise, than in accordance with such procedure as may be prescribed for the imposition of fines.
(4) The total amount of fine which may be imposed in any one wage-period on any employed person shall not exceed an amount equal to 39 [three per cent. of the wages] payable to him in respect of that wage-period.
