In a country where even living wages are not paid to
workers, the need to protect the wages earned by
them can hardly be over- emphasized. Before, the
Payment of Wages Act, 1936 was passed, evils of
withholding wages, delays in paying wages and
making unreasonable deductions out of wages
were quite prevalent.
