Minimum Wage Update in Karnataka: Is This Mid-Year Revision Accurate and What’s Next?

Dear Seniors, I have received a notification update from our consultants regarding a revision in minimum wages in the middle of FY 2012-13. I request you to validate this and inform me if this information is accurate. Additionally, I would like to know if there will be another revision in April 2013. Your earliest response will be greatly appreciated.

Secondly, I recommend using the search option before posting queries like this, as it can provide quick and easy answers. Please give it a try.

Thank you so much for the links. I have searched every relevant topic on Cite HR and on the website but did not get a clarification for my doubt. We are following the same minimum wages which are displayed in the link, but recently we have received a notification from our auditors saying that there was a mid-year revision. Just to confirm, I have posted the query. I have attached the notification. Please tell me if you have any information on this.

Thank you,

Bhandhavi

Hi Bhandhavi,

There was an increase in DA in April 12. However, on 01/07/12, the labor department revised the minimum wages applicable to Shops & Commercial Establishments, which is effective from 01/04/12. The revision is very comprehensive, and in 2013, there will be an increase only in DA.
