West Bengal Shops and Establishments Act, 1963
- When wages are paid
- Not later than the 10th day of the month after the month they are payable forThis comes from the Labour Department's reprint of the Act in the West Bengal Labour Gazette 2011. Its footnotes run to the amending Act of 2002, so an amendment after that would not appear in this copy; and the scan carries a previous reader's yellow highlighting on the page dealing with the recovery of wages. Neither affects the figures above, and both are said here so the copy can be judged.Section 14(1)
