Minimum wages

State, zone, skill — shops vs industrial.

One statewide rate for each grade; the notification sets no zones.

Basic rate plus the special allowance, per day, in force from 1 April 2026. These rates come from No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2026/70 of 30 April 2026, the Declaration of Special Allowance under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, issued by the Department of Labour & Employment, Daman, UT Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu and made the Administrator of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948. They take effect from 1 April 2026 and cover all the employments in the schedule to the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 in the Union territory. This is the Union territory's own instrument — nothing on these pages is read across from a neighbouring State.

Skill	Statewide
unskilled	₹501.50 / day₹441.00 + ₹60.50
Semi-skilled	₹512.50 / day₹452.00 + ₹60.50
skilled	₹522.50 / day₹462.00 + ₹60.50

The same notification also says

The basic pay has not moved since 18 August 2023: only the allowance is revised. Notification No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2023/349 of that date fixed the basic rates and is not held by this desk.
The declaration of 30 April 2026 states the increase as Rs.12.00 a day. The allowance it replaces, fixed on 9 May 2025, was Rs.45.50. Rs.45.50 plus Rs.12.00 is Rs.57.50, but the table prints Rs.60.50 — so at least one further revision lies between the two, which is the notification of 25 November 2025 the declaration itself names. What that notification fixed is not stated here and is not worked backwards from the difference.
The declaration of 30 April 2026 carries no notes at all — it ends at the table. The multiply-by-26 rule appears only in the superseded copy, and neither document prints a monthly figure, so none is shown here and the rule is not applied to the current rates.
If the wages already paid are higher, the same should be continued. — The instruction on the declaration of 9 May 2025.
Only three classes are fixed — unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled. There is no highly skilled rate and none is shown.
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.
The Joint Secretary (Planning & Statistics), Government Press, DNH / DD is directed to publish the declaration in the Official Gazette, so a gazette version is a separate document this desk does not hold.

The table above is from the state's own published minimum wage notification. Everything below is Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu-specific, researched and not yet checked against an official source.

The Union territory's own declaration, and the one link that is missing

Everything here comes from No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2026/70 of 30 April 2026, the Declaration of Special Allowance under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, issued by the Department of Labour & Employment, Daman, UT Administration of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu and made the Administrator of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, taking effect from 1 April 2026. It is the Union territory's own instrument, and nothing on these pages is read across from Gujarat or Maharashtra. The basic pay has not changed since 18 August 2023; only the special allowance is revised, and this declaration raises it by ₹12.00 a day. The declaration of 30 April 2026 states the increase as Rs.12.00 a day. The allowance it replaces, fixed on 9 May 2025, was Rs.45.50. Rs.45.50 plus Rs.12.00 is Rs.57.50, but the table prints Rs.60.50 — so at least one further revision lies between the two, which is the notification of 25 November 2025 the declaration itself names. What that notification fixed is not stated here and is not worked backwards from the difference.

How these figures were arrived at

The basic pay: Unchanged since 18 August 2023That notification fixed the basic pay for all scheduled employments; unchanged since. This desk does not hold it; its figures are known because the present declaration reprints them.Notification No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2023/349
Allowance fixed on 28 October 2024: Not heldDeclaration No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(11)/2024/507
Allowance fixed on 9 May 2025: ₹45.50 — held, and supersededHeld by this desk and superseded. It fixed the allowance at Rs.45.50 from 1 April 2025, giving totals of Rs.486.50, Rs.497.50 and Rs.507.50.No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(11)/2025/88
Allowance fixed on 25 November 2025: Not heldNot held. Its existence is proved by the arithmetic, not inferred from a gap in the numbering.No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(11)/2025/1085
Why a link is known to be missing: The declaration's own arithmeticThe declaration of 30 April 2026 states the increase as Rs.12.00 a day. The allowance it replaces, fixed on 9 May 2025, was Rs.45.50. Rs.45.50 plus Rs.12.00 is Rs.57.50, but the table prints Rs.60.50 — so at least one further revision lies between the two, which is the notification of 25 November 2025 the declaration itself names. What that notification fixed is not stated here and is not worked backwards from the difference.No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2026/70 of 30 April 2026
What the missing notification fixed: Not yet addedNot stated here. The difference could be worked backwards, but a figure this desk has not read is not a figure it publishes.
How the series is numbered: Both MWA-3(II) and MWA-3(11)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.No. LE/LI/DMN/MWA-3(II)/2026/70 of 30 April 2026
