Dear Sir/Madams,
Is there any Act/Law vide Finance Ministry or any other Governmental Agency, whereby Salary payment (regular permanent employees of a mfg co.) can be made mandatory through Bank Payment only ?
Is there any case in any court of law related to the above subject ?
Quoting The Payment of Wages Act, 1936
6. Wages to be paid in current coin or currency notes - All wages shall be paid in current coin or currency notes or in both
5* [Provided that the employer may, after obtaining the written authorisation of the employed person, pay him the wages either by cheque or by crediting the wages in his bank account.]
Thanks & Regards

Hello Jay,
As per my opinion
Please refer IT act section 40A(3), as per act cash expenditure is not allowed ore than 20,000 Rs.so we needs to drawn the salary through cheque only if payment is more than 20,000 Rs.
Below that we can give cash.
Thanking you,

Dear Bhuwan C Arya,
I did not find any change in the contents of Sl.6 even in the amended act.
BTW the CM of WB had informed that all state govt salary payments will be made through Bank. Is there any Government notification in this regards.
Dear Asish, I am aware of the section as per the IT Act but I am surprised that even the court did not do anything to enforce this. There is a court case pending since 2004. Hasnt come up for final hearing as yet.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Jay,
I think your attention slipped from it. The Section (6) is as follows:
6. Wages to be paid in current coin or currency notes -
All wages shall be paid in current coin or currency notes or in both : [Provided that the employer may, after obtaining the written authorization of the employed person, pay him the wages either by cheque or by crediting the wages in his bank account].

Thanks Bhuwan. Some employees (around 66 of them) in my organisation want salary in cash only. This is creating problems. There is a legal case pending since 2004 with some of the employees who wanted payment only through cash whilst the company wanted 100% Bank payment only. The law is archiac and needs modification.
The Act says that it is upto the employee to take salary in whichever way (cash or cheque or bank payment) he wants to. If its through cheque or through Bank, then a written authorization is needed from the employee. We want to disburse salary only through Bank.

Maharashtra is the first state in India that has ammended the POW Act making it mandatory to pay wages and salary above rs. 3000 per month through bank transfers or crossed cheques. In Maharashtra, there is no choice on this.
Gujarat is likely to be the second state to do the same.
Other states may do so also, but till then, the payment can be made only with approval of the employees. So a standard procedure is to get the same signed by the employees when the join and to (if possible), ammend the standing orders to include payment of salary only through bank.
The disallowance on payment of more than 30,000 in cash under the income tax act does not cover salary. There are exemptions for payment made in cash under any other law.

Hi For some reason, i am not able to find any notification on compulsory bank transferes through google except for maharashtra. Would appreciate if you can give me a link for delhi and karnataka
