Andaman and Nicobar minimum wages: ₹660 a day unskilled, and the first order made under the Code on Wages
Order No. 229 of the Office of the Labour Commissioner, Sri Vijaya Puram, digitally signed 29 June 2026, declares daily minimum rates with effect from 1 July 2026: ₹660 unskilled, ₹741 semi-skilled or unskilled supervisory, ₹864 skilled or clerical and ₹947 highly skilled — ₹8 a day more than the order of 5 December 2025 gave in every grade. There are no zones and no monthly figure. The order is made under section 7 of the Code on Wages, 2019 read with section 2(w), because the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 was subsumed into the Code with effect from 21 November 2025, and it declares the rates across all employments of the territory rather than across the six schedules of employment its predecessor named. The Lt. Governor (Administrator) declares them under power the Ministry of Labour delegated by Notification LP 24(1) of 16 March 1949.
