Dear ANONYMOUS Friend,

You want to know the meaning of the term "wages" as per the objectives of different laws in India. What is your study of laws related to wages in India? Have you read the definition of the term "wages" under different laws related to wages in India?

Sometimes I am harsh in my language. This is a forum of HR Professionals, and it is invariably found that HR Professionals are asking questions without any study. The questions are very basic to our profession.

Which are the laws related to wages in India? They are:

1. Payment of Wages Act
2. Minimum Wage Act
3. Payment of Bonus Act
4. Payment of Gratuity Act
5. Equal Remuneration Act
6. Maternity Benefit Act
7. In some States, the HRA Act, and so on.

Each Act, amongst other definitions, provides a definition of wages. You are requested to read it and interpret it. In case you do not understand it, your specific query will be welcomed by members like me.

I'm sorry. I wanted to express my anger, and you have been caught on this Sunday morning.
