If he is a "workman", as defined in Industrial Disputes Act, without bothering his wage limit, he can move a complaint before the Assistant Labour Commissioner, who will depute Labour Inspector to the establishment for the recovery of wages. If the matter is not settled there and still you feel unsatisfied, you can move an application under Section 33-C-2 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for recovery of wages.
Under Payment of wages Act, you cannot recover because the wage limit is Rs.6,500/-.
