The Payment of Wages Act of 1936 (Act) is primarily intended to help industrial workers who do not earn a lot of money. It covers all employees who work in a factory, through a subcontractor, or directly with the railway administration, and also those who operate in the industrial sector, as defined in the Act. The limit was raised to INR 24,000 per month by the Indian government in 2017. Therefore, employees with wages up to the ceiling limit are covered by the Act.
The Payment of Wages Act, 1936 is applicable to each individual who works in the industry. The act ensures the salary of the employees will be done within one month only. The salary term cannot exceed one month under any circumstances. As a result, it is obvious that payment of wages under the act can be chosen on a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month, or fortnightly basis. It indicates that wages should be paid on time and without delay, and if they aren’t, the employer or their representatives will be held responsible.

This Act applies to wages payable to an employed person in respect of a a wage period if such wages for that wage period do not exceed twenty four thousand per month or such other higher sum which, on the basis of figures of the Consumer Expenditure Survey published by the National Sample Survey Organisation, the Central Government may, after every five years, by notification in the Official Gazette, specify.
