    Solution

    The Doctrine of ‘equal pay for equal work’ is not a fundamental right but a Constitutional right. Equal remuneration for men and women is the right of an employee without any qualification. The Act of Equal Remuneration, 1976 was enacted to comply with the provisions of Directive Principle of State Policy (DPDP) under Article 39. The Act doesn’t make a distinction like employment or the period of employment and applies to all workers even if engaged only for a day or few days.
