According to Raaj Kumar Anand, Delhi’s Labour Minister, they have decided to raise the monthly minimum wage for unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled personnel.
Competent staff has had their monthly salary increased to IR 21,215 (US$255.28) from IR 20,903 (US$251.27). Semi-skilled workers had their pay rise from IR 18,993 (US$228.31) to IR 19,279 (US $231.75). Similarly, the monthly salary of unskilled labourers has increased by IR 260, from Rs 17,234 (207.17) to IR 17,494 (US $210.29).
Similarly, competent managers and clerical workers in the Indian state would benefit from increased minimum pay rates, including an IR 286 (USD$3.44) increase for non-matric staff. The monthly income of matriculation pass and non-graduate employees has raised by IR 312 (US $3.75), while the monthly minimum wage of graduates and higher-educated labourers has increased from IR 22,744 (US $ 273.40) to IR 23,082 (US$ 277.40).
The Delhi government triggered the increase in minimum wages for all sectors across industries in order to provide some relief to the rising economic challenges exacerbated by high inflation and other factors that have impacted all segments of society, according to Anand, who added, “The minimum wage given to labourers in Delhi is the highest as compared to any other state in the country.”
According to dajiworld.com, the rise in minimum monthly pay will assist unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled, and other employees in all scheduled employment categories. Anand argued that employees in the unorganised sector should be entitled to dearness allowance, a calculation based on inflation and allowance granted to government employees and retirees, in addition to minimum wages, which are typically paid to state and central government employees.
