Dear all,
I have been contacted by many friends to clarify the impact of this amendment on other statutes. I would like to clarify that this amendment has no impact on ESI, PF, or GRATUITY. It has been a relief to employees who now draw up to 10,000/- to claim their unpaid wages or illegal deductions from employers through labor authorities in the area. Until now, only employees drawing up to 6,500 were eligible to go to the labor department against employers for payment of their earnings on time.

Dear Friends,
From an employer's point of view, what would be the implication? Would it mean that a lesser number of employees would come under the coverage of the Act?
Grateful for considered views.

Dear Anil Kaushik,
Thank you for sharing the information. In fact, I happened to read the same, and while discussing with my colleague, Head of Finance, he pointed out that nowhere in the notification is it mentioned that it is applicable to ESI. Request you to enlighten us, please!
Also, how should we deal with the situation for the deductions made prior to the notification and deposited with ESI accounts? Here, the company is a larger contributor with 4.75% compared to the employee's share of 1.75%. Can we ask for the recovery?

Dear Rajat,
This enhancement of the wage limit under the Payment of Wages Act has nothing to do with ESI, PF, Gratuity, or Bonus.
The object of the Payment of Wages Act is to regulate the payment to employees from the employer, which means that the employer is under obligation to pay salary or earned wages latest by the 7th of each month for the preceding month with certain legally permissible deductions. Now, if the employer does not pay the salary or deducts some amount from wages/salary which is not permissible, where does the employee seek relief?
Also, which category of employees can take protection under this act against the employer for their illegal actions?
The act answers these questions.
Now, any employee who draws Rs. 10,000 or less can seek relief under this act and can approach labour authorities. Earlier, employees drawing up to Rs. 1,600 were eligible to seek relief, which was ultimately enhanced to Rs. 6,500 and now made Rs. 10,000.
ESI deductions are permissible under the act, and this amendment nowhere implies that the employer has to deduct ESI on Rs. 10,000 for each employee.
Hope the issue is clear.
You are welcome to have a telecon with me on the issue if you so desire.
