If your appropriate government is the Central Government, then refer to the Minimum Wages (Central) Rules, 1950; otherwise, consult your applicable State Rules.

Section 13A Maintenance of Registers and Records
If we read between the lines, it talks about receipts given by the employer. A pay slip is the receipt that should be given to the employee, providing details of salary and various deductions.

Section 13A Maintenance of registers and records. If we read between the lines, it talks about receipts given by the employer, and a payslip is the receipt that should be given to the employee, providing details of salary and various deductions.
Dear member, thank you very much for the reply. But in s. 13A, it states, "the receipts given by them," here "them" refers to employees and not the employer. So, it is the receipt given by the employee. Do you still think that section 13A covers the issuing of wage slips?

According to me, Section 13A covers the point of issuing wage slips because in earlier times, and still in some small industries, workers were paid in cash. At the time of payment, they had to sign in a salary register where details of income were mentioned. This allowed workers to check and confirm the details.
As HR processes developed and organizations spread over more than one location, salaries were directly credited into employees' accounts. Salary slips then became a common practice as a mode of communication through which employees could check their income and deductions. It is not practical or convenient for employers to show them the salary register. "The receipts given by them" for employers in today's form serve as confirmation from the bank that the salary has been credited into the employee's account.
