Dear Seniors,
According to the Payment of Wages Act of 1936 (applicable to employees drawing wages less than 1600/month - old limit), could anybody please clarify what the current limit is and what the applicability criteria of this act are to the employees?
According to this act, authorized deductions are limited to 75% of wages in the case of Cooperative society deductions and 50% in the case of others. Could anybody please shed more light on the same?

Dear Prashant,
For applicability, you may go through section 1(4) of this Act. As far as the wage ceiling is concerned, at present, this Act applies to wages payable to an employed person in respect of a wage period if such wages for that wage period do not exceed Rs. 10,000/- per month. For deductions in wages, you may go through section 7 of The Payment of Wages Act, 1936.
