About the Book

The Code on Wages, 2019 consolidates provisions previously addressed by the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, and the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976. Section 69 of the Code provides for the repeal of these enactments. Dr. J. K. Verma’s commentary includes comparative tables mapping the earlier legislation to the Code, along with relevant notifications and the Wages (Central) Rules, 2026. It supports research into wage regulation, minimum wage obligations, payment of wages, bonus and equal remuneration, making it relevant to employment-law practice and workplace compliance.
