What this guide covers
The applicable remedy depends on the establishment, worker status, location and current labour-law implementation. The Ministry of Labour's SAMADHAN portal lists non-payment, delayed or short payment and unauthorised deductions among matters that can be raised.
What to do now
Send a written demand showing the wage period and calculation. Ask for the wage register or payslip. File through the competent labour authority or SAMADHAN where the portal accepts the dispute.
Keep these records
Keep appointment letter, attendance, duty roster, payslips, bank statement, wage calculation, messages and names of similarly affected workers.
Where to go
Review eligibility and file through samadhan.labour.gov.in; a trade union or legal-aid office can assist.
