Minimum Wages Increased In Punjab W.e.f. 01.3.2014 On PROVISIONAL BASIS

The State Government has further increased the minimum rates of wages for different categories of employees in respect of several Scheduled employments on a provisional basis, as the matter of shifting Consumer Price Index numbers from the existing CPI index of (1987-100) to (2001-100) series is under consideration.
