During the British Empire's colonial rule in India, the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, was enacted. This is, the social, economic, political, and legal factors that led to the Act's necessity, as well as the statute It is necessary to study the historical perspective in order to understand the background of the Act, the mischief it sought to address, as well as the scope and object of the Act and the deductions made which are authorized deductions and unauthorized deductions in order to aid in the better implementation of the Act considering the poor working conditions that persist even after many years of independence. The necessity to defend worker salaries was felt from the beginning of the twentieth century. These workers have always been exploited. Before the amendment of 1936 there were no proper wages for the employees, and they did not get wages in monetary form. But after the amendment of the payment of wages act, there were many rules and regulations enacted to benefit the employees. By doing so, the employees were regulated to get equal pay for equal work and the employers were required to provide the salaries in the form of cash. A private bill known as the weekly payment bill was first filed in the legislative assembly in 1925. The bill was dropped, however, after the government assured them that the topic was being considered. Employers imposing fines on employees and deducting double salaries for absent periods as a kind of fine was common back then. The government recognized the importance of limiting penalties and other deductions through a law in 1926.
