In my factory salary is paid through bank for all the employees. Except workers all the category of employees are receiving payslips through Employee Self Service (ESS) portal. Currently to issue a payslip to worker, we are taking worker signature in payslip counter foil with revenue stamp.
Here my query is since workers also paid through bank transfer, what is the necessary of taking signature in payslip counter foil with revenue stamp.
Kindly advise any recent updates regarding this particular topic or any recent amendments so i can drop this existing practice and workers also can download their payslips through ESS portal.
I want this clarification with regards to tamilnadu state.
Kindly advise

As per the Payment of Wages Act, if the salary / wages are paid through bank transfer, then no requirement of ack on revenue stamp.

Dear Mr Nagaraju, The system of "Revenue Stamp" is dispensed since a long time.you have not specified the value of Revenue Stamp? from where are you buying Revenue Stamp?
You have confirmed that Salary is credited Electronically.Consequently signature of Employee on Copy of Pay Slip suffices

Electronic transfer of funds/pay to bank a/c as given by employee is good enough.Every employee should be asked to give his choice bank a/c,cancelled cheque leaf for transfer of salary.
No separate signature over revenue stamp is required.
