I Mean after the becomes Karmafal Daata or..
My recollection does not include the timeline - with respect to Shani Dev being recognized as Karmafal Daata. I do remember the obvious - that it is after Surya Dev realizes that Chaaya is not Sangya. The story behind his becoming aware of this truth varies a bit.
In one case, it is said that Yam Dev becomes abusive towards his mother (Chaaya who he thinks is Sangya) and lifts his foot to kick her - when she curses that his foot would be infested with worms. Surya Dev gets his son's foot healed by means of a cock that eats up the worms. But both Yam Dev and Surya Dev wonder how a mother could curse her son - this leads to Surya Dev getting to know of the identity of Chaaya. He then goes to Vishwakarma and asks him to reduce his intensity (with respect to heat) so that he can get Sangya back. Vishwakarma complies and Surya Dev gets his real wife back.
Another version does not mention that Yam Dev was in the act of kicking Chaaya nor that he was abusive towards her. Nevertheless, it does mention that Chaaya does curse Yam Dev as she was partial towards her offspring - and the rest of the story re: Surya Dev's realization about the identity of Chaaya and setting out to get Sangya back is the same.
