What was taken from it

The figures and statements this desk reads off this document, as extracted. Each one is shown on the topic page it belongs to: Minimum wages · Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.

Basic.Source

Notification No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2023/349 dated 18 August 2023, which fixed the basic pay; unchanged since, and not held by this desk

Chain.Missing

No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(11)/2025/1085 dated 25 November 2025 is named by this declaration and is not held. Rs.45.50 (fixed 9 May 2025) plus the stated Rs.12.00 increase is Rs.57.50, not the Rs.60.50 printed, so at least one further revision lies between them. What it fixed is not stated and is not worked backwards

Copy

The departmental declaration. The Government Press is directed to publish it in the Official Gazette, so a gazette version is a separate document this desk does not hold

Effective

1 April 2026

Grades

Three - unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled. No highly skilled rate is fixed

Higher.Prevails

If the wages already paid are higher, the same should be continued - the instruction on the declaration of 9 May 2025

Increase

Rs.12.00 per day, the amount by which this declaration raises the special allowance

Legal.Basis

Issued by the Union territory's own Department of Labour & Employment, By Order and in the name of the Administrator of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948. No neighbouring State's rates are read across

Monthly

Not shown. The superseded declaration of 9 May 2025 says monthly wages are the daily rate multiplied by 26; the declaration in force carries no notes and prints no monthly figure, so the rule is not applied

Numbering

The same declaration writes the series both as MWA-3(II) and as MWA-3(11) - roman numerals in one citation, digits in the next. Shown as printed
