Wage and salary administration in India has been a subject of immense controversy, if unresolved, in the context of India politico-administrative setup for several decades now. The topic itself is as complex as it is slippery in terms of definition and unique features. Among other things, the subject of wage and salary administration in this country has been a controversial one. The attempt has been to resolve such issues as what the basic should pay, the issues of labour cost, productivity, cost of living, and the question of compensation. This paper takes a critical perspective on the generic forces at work in recent times that relate to wage policies, strategies and schemes aimed at creating a conducive atmosphere for the workers (both in the private and public sectors) in India to perform. The main objective of the paper is to determine the key forces affecting wage and salary administration in India. Among the most recent experiences analyzed are those of the Government Employees pay package and the current pay system. The researcher adopted a simple cross-sectional survey method. Data collected were subjected to critical analysis using mostly non-parametric methods.
