Statutory text

(1) Any person dealing with the Authority may execute an agreement in favour of such Authority providing that his employer shall be competent to deduct from the salary or wages payable to him by the employer, such amount as may be specified in the agreement, and to pay to the Authority the amount so deducted in satisfaction of any debt or demand of the Authority against such person. Such an agreement shall be accompanied with a consent in writing of the employer.
(2) On the execution of such agreement, the employer shall, if so required by the authority, by requisition in writing and so long as the Authority does not intimate that the whole of such debt or demand has been paid, make the deduction in accordance with the agreement, and pay the amount so deducted to the Authority as if it were a part of the salary or wages payable by the employer as required under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 (Central Act No. 4 of 1936) on the day on which the employer makes payment.
(3) If, after the receipt of a requisition made under the foregoing sub-section, the employer at any time fails to deduct the amount specified in the requisition from the salary or wages payable to such person or makes a default in remitting the amount deducted to the Authority, the employ shall be personally liable for the payment thereof, and the amount shall be recoverable on behalf of the Authority, from the employer as an arrear of land revenue.
