Yes, it is surprising that the notifications do not mention Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA), whereas it is stated that "minimum rates of wages and variable dearness allowance, IF ANY, both shall constitute minimum wages to be enforceable as per the Minimum Wages Act." The words "if any" make it clear that there is no VDA if not separately mentioned. However, in all other states, there will be a separate notification on VDA.
