The Payment of Wages Act, 1936 was enacted with a view to ensuring that

wages payable to employed persons covered by the Act were disbursed by the

employers within the prescribed time limit and that no deductions other than

those authorised by law were made by them. The last amendment was made in1982 and several provisions of the Act have become obsolete over the years.

Many proposals have been received by the Government for amending various

provisions which are creating practical difficulties in enforcement of this Act.
