It consolidates and rationalises four central wage-related laws into a single framework. The Act was enacted on <strong>8 August 2019<\/strong> and is administered by the <strong>Ministry of Labour &amp; Employment, Government of India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of <strong>21 November 2025<\/strong>, the four Labour Codes, including the Code on Wages, 2019, were made effective. The Central Government has also notified the <strong>Code on Wages (Central) Rules, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Laws replaced by the Code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code on Wages consolidates these four Acts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Earlier Act<\/th><th>Main subject<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Payment of Wages Act, 1936<\/td><td>Timely payment and deductions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Minimum Wages Act, 1948<\/td><td>Minimum wage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Payment of Bonus Act, 1965<\/td><td>Statutory bonus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Equal Remuneration Act, 1976<\/td><td>Equal remuneration and non-discrimination<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Key objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code primarily aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establish a broader statutory framework for <strong>minimum wages<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduce a <strong>floor wage<\/strong> to be fixed by the Central Government<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure timely payment of wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regulate permissible deductions from wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide provisions relating to statutory bonus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prohibit discrimination on the ground of gender in wages and recruitment for the same or similar work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simplify wage-related compliance for employers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring wage provisions applicable across organised and unorganised sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Minimum wages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Section 5, an employer cannot pay an employee less than the minimum rate of wages notified by the appropriate government. The Code permits minimum wages to be fixed for <strong>time work or piece work<\/strong>, with wage periods including hourly, daily and monthly rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appropriate government considers factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skill level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Geographical area<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nature of employment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Central Government&#8217;s <strong>floor wage<\/strong> acts as a baseline, and minimum wage rates fixed by the appropriate government cannot be below the floor wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Definition of wages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code provides a common definition of <strong>&#8220;wages&#8221;<\/strong>, which is important for payroll and statutory calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broadly, wages include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Basic pay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dearness allowance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retaining allowance, where applicable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain components are excluded subject to the conditions and limits prescribed under the Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This definition is particularly important when calculating statutory benefits and determining whether an employee&#8217;s remuneration structure complies with the wage framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Payment of wages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code contains provisions governing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wage periods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time limits for payment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment on termination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Permitted deductions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loans and recoveries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employers need to ensure that wages are paid within the applicable statutory time limits and that deductions are legally permissible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Bonus provisions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code retains provisions relating to statutory bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An employee meeting the prescribed eligibility requirements can be entitled to annual bonus. The Government&#8217;s explanatory material states that an eligible employee who has worked for at least <strong>30 days in an accounting year<\/strong> and falls within the applicable wage ceiling is entitled to bonus subject to the Code&#8217;s conditions. The minimum bonus rate is <strong>8.33% of wages earned or \u20b9100, whichever is higher<\/strong>, while the maximum bonus can be <strong>20%<\/strong> subject to the statutory provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Equal remuneration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code prohibits discrimination on the ground of <strong>gender<\/strong>, including transgender identity, in relation to wages for the same work or work of a similar nature and in recruitment, subject to the statutory provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Working hours and wage calculation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Code on Wages (Central) Rules, 2026<\/strong> provide, among other things, for an <strong>eight-hour workday<\/strong> where the wage period is daily and a <strong>48-hour work week<\/strong> where the wage period is other than daily, subject to the applicable framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Applicability for employers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Code is relevant to a wide range of establishments and employees, including wage-related compliance for organisations operating in sectors covered by the Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For payroll teams, the major areas to review include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Salary structure \u2192 Wage definition \u2192 Minimum wages \u2192 Overtime \u2192 Deductions \u2192 Bonus \u2192 Wage slips \u2192 Records &amp; registers \u2192 Returns \u2192 State\/Central rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Employer compliance checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Compliance area<\/th><th>What employers should review<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Employee classification<\/td><td>Skill\/category and applicable minimum wage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Salary structure<\/td><td>Components falling within the statutory wage definition<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Minimum wages<\/td><td>Applicable Central\/State minimum wage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Floor wage<\/td><td>Ensure applicable wage rates are not below the statutory floor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wage payment<\/td><td>Pay within prescribed timelines<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Deductions<\/td><td>Verify statutory permissible deductions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Overtime<\/td><td>Apply prescribed overtime requirements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bonus<\/td><td>Check eligibility and statutory calculation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Equal pay<\/td><td>Review gender-based wage discrimination<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wage slips<\/td><td>Issue prescribed wage information<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Registers\/records<\/td><td>Maintain required employment and wage records<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Returns<\/td><td>Complete applicable statutory filings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>State rules<\/td><td>Check the relevant State Government rules<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Central and State rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labour is a subject in the <strong>Concurrent List<\/strong>, so both Central and State Governments have rule-making responsibilities under the Labour Codes. Therefore, organisations should not rely only on the central legislation; they should also check the applicable <strong>State\/UT rules and notifications<\/strong> for the establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry&#8217;s current framework includes the <strong>Code on Wages (Central) Rules, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Important sections to know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some important areas of the Code include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Section 3<\/strong> \u2013 Prohibition of discrimination on ground of gender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 5<\/strong> \u2013 Payment of minimum rate of wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 6<\/strong> \u2013 Fixation of minimum wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 8<\/strong> \u2013 Procedure for fixing\/revising minimum wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 9<\/strong> \u2013 Floor wage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chapter III<\/strong> \u2013 Payment of wages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chapter IV<\/strong> \u2013 Payment of bonus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 42<\/strong> \u2013 Advisory Boards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 50 onwards<\/strong> \u2013 Offences and penalties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complete statutory text is available through <strong>India Code<\/strong> and the Ministry of Labour &amp; Employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Official Act:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiacode.nic.in\/indiacode\/handle\/123456789\/15793?view_type=browse&amp;utm_source=chatgpt.com\">India Code \u2013 Code on Wages, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Code on Wages, 2019 is one of India\u2019s four Labour Codes.
