Bare Act

The Payment of Wages (Puducherry Amendment) Act, 1970

This law amends the Payment of Wages Act to allow the government of Pondicherry to deduct electricity bills directly from the wages of employees working in the territory. It applies to all employed persons in the Union territory of Pondicherry. The legislation empowers the Electricity Department to request employers to make these specific deductions and ensures that the money is collected and remitted to the state government. This measure simplifies the process of recovering electricity charges from consumers by integrating the payment directly into their regular salary payments.
