- 3. Amendments to the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 – regarding. • The Payment of Wages Act, 1936 regulates the payment of wages of certain classes of employed persons. Section 6 of the Act envisages that all wages shall be paid in current coin or currency notes or in both. However, a proviso was inserted in section 6 of the said Act in the year 1975 enabling the employer, after obtaining the written authorization of the employed person, to pay him the wages either by cheque or by crediting the wages in his bank account. • 2. One of the reasons for ineffective enforcement of payments of wages to workers is the payment of wages in cash. With the passage of time, technology has gone a sea change. A large section of the employed persons have now bank accounts. So, payment of wages only through cheque or through bank transfer in the bank account of employed persons will reduce the complaints regarding non-payment or less payment of minimum wages, besides serving the objectives of digital and less cash economy.
- 4. • 3. In the recent years advancements in technology, progress in mobile banking and innovative technologies to facilitate digital payments have enabled large number of small denomination transactions to be handled smoothly in electronic mode. The Government of India has taken policy decisions encouraging cashless/electronic transactions. • 4. The Central Government, therefore, intends to make amendments in section 6 of the Payment of Wage Act, 1936. The details of the existing provisions and proposed amendments are as :
