Dear Seniors,
As per Section 1(6) of the Payment of Wages Act, it is applicable to employees earning wages up to Rs 18,000 only. Therefore, considering the definition of wages provided in the same act, it should be interpreted as "GROSS" wages. Based on this interpretation, many employees will fall outside the scope of this act.
If my understanding is correct as mentioned above, then which act will govern employees earning more than Rs 18,000 in wages for issues related to payment of wages and deductions? Your insights on this matter would be appreciated.

The workmen earning over ₹18,000 will be governed by other acts - Factories Act, Shop & Establishment Act, Minimum Wages Act, Standing Orders Act, Industrial Dispute Act, etc.
Highly paid employees do not actually have any specific protection, and they will need to file a civil suit against the company.
