Sub-section (2) of section 7 of the Act provides for certain deductions specified in that sub-section from the wages of an employed person, in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

In order to permit deductions for contributions to that scheme from the wages of the employees covered by the Payment of Wages1 Act, 1936, it is proposed to amend sub-section (2) of section 7 of the Act suitably
The Bill seeks to achieve this object.
