Ravi Textiles Pvt Ltd in Surat has not paid a pending wage claim of Meena, a worker. Meena wants to approach the authority under the Code on Wages, 2019. Who among the following may file the application for her claim?

The Inspector-cum-Facilitator may file the claim application. The Code allows the employee, a registered trade union of which the employee is a member, or the Inspector-cum-Facilitator to apply. A union that she has not joined cannot, and the Collector only recovers dues.

  1. AAny registered trade union, even if Meena is not its member
  2. BThe Inspector-cum-FacilitatorCorrect
  3. COnly Meena herself, and nobody on her behalf
  4. DOnly the Collector of the district

Explanation

Under the claims provision, an application may be filed by the employee concerned, a registered trade union of which the employee is a member, or the Inspector-cum-Facilitator. A union can act only if Meena is its member, so the first option is wrong. The Collector's role is recovery, not filing.
