Minimum wages

The same notification also says

• The rates are per month. The notification divides the monthly total by twenty-six to give the daily figure and prints both, so the daily rate is its own computation and not a derivation.
• There are no zones. One table covers three long lists of scheduled employments, and shops and commercial establishments are named in the first of them — which is why this page carries no caveat about whether the rates reach them.
• The allowance is cumulative: the notification adds this half-year's 2.63 per cent of basic to the allowance already accrued, and prints the running total rather than a single figure.
• The dearness allowance rose 3.78 index points, which the notification states as 2.63 per cent, on the average All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (base 2016=100) for June to December 2025.
• Every grade's new allowance is exactly 2.63 per cent of its basic — ₹189.36 on ₹7,200, ₹220.92 on ₹8,400, ₹276.15 on ₹10,500 and ₹355.05 on ₹13,500.
• The highly skilled row does not reconcile with the previous notification, and the figure published here is the one printed. See the note on the wages page.
• Assam also fixes wages separately for plantations, for loading and unloading urea bags, and for medical representatives and other pharmaceutical work. Those notifications are not published here.
• The department's own website had not published this notification when this page was written; its newest listed order was for 1 June 2025. This copy is the eOffice original.
