You may not need employee’s consent while reducing their salary... But you are required to discuss the same with the employee. Need to take a signature on the letter after discussion.

But that would amount to taking the employee's consent. Apart from terminating the employment (which is not the end objective), what are the options in case the employee is unwilling to sign-off on the reduction? I believe the Industrial Disputes Act allows employers to change the conditions of service with a 21 day notice to employees (Section 9A). Can the salary be reduced under this provision without having to worry about employee consent/signatures at all?
