Dear All,

What is the time period by which minimum wages are revised? I think it is every 6 months. Is there any source of information through which we can know how many classes of labor are in every state and also to know all state minimum wages at a single click?

Dear Sunilk80,

The ID and BIR Acts are local laws applicable in Maharashtra. The BIR Act will not apply to all industries in Maharashtra; it applies to specified industries in specified areas only. The BIR Act may not cover the entire industry but specific processes. This all depends on the notification issued by the state of Maharashtra.

Thank you for the information. One thing is that because of CITE HR, I am always the first in my office to distribute information like minimum wages, holidays, and various formats. Thanks, friends. I really appreciate the efforts of the seniors.

Dear All,

Cite HR members/seniors, what is the time period by which minimum wages are revised? I think it is every 6 months. The last minimum wages (special allowance) were revised on 1 July 2010 to "1394 Rs" (Shop Act). What is the next revision, and what about the basic wages?

Also, is there any source of information through which we can find out how many classes of labor exist in every state and also access all state minimum wages with a single click?

Hi everybody,

Thank you for sharing the revision of the wages in Maharashtra. As per my knowledge, the recent revision is in central wages and not state wages. The state government site still has the same wages that were revised in July and are valid until December 2010. However, the central wages sheet does confirm the revision from 1st October to March 2011. Can anyone confirm the same?

Hi, Basic has been revised in Maharashtra. Are there any changes in the Special Allowance, or does it remain the same? I would like to know the details of the revised minimum wages for Basic and Special Allowance for the Engineering Industry (Zone III) in Maharashtra.

Thank you very much for posting the revised minimum wages. Could you please post the housekeeping rates for Mumbai and Pune as well?

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Mr. Ramanjaneya Reddy G.K.,

At the onset, I am really thankful to you for sharing the information. However, what I gather from the attachments is that the basic as stated by you pertains to only the "Shops & Establishment Schedule". While the basic for the rest of the schedules, as specified in the revised special allowances PDF, are different.

I would be highly obliged if you could provide me with the revised basics for the following schedules: Automobile, Fountain Pen, and Residuary under Factories Act.

Regards,
Narendra

Could anyone please provide me with the breakup of last year's wages for housekeeping and gardeners as per the Minimum Wages Act at the earliest? Kindly do the needful.
