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 :
