One salary, two paydays: Could Anupam Mittal's payroll idea work in India?

Key points

• Imagine this: it is the 15th of the month and your phone buzzes with a notification, "50% salary credited." Then, on the last day of the month, or the first day of the next month, another message arrives with the remaining amount.
• Sounds appealing, doesn't it?
• For many employees juggling rent, EMIs, credit card bills and everyday expenses, receiving their salary twice a month may sound like a dream.
• But what if it wasn't just a dream?
• What if India moved away from its traditional monthly salary cycle and adopted a bi-monthly payroll system?
