Hi Vikram,

Thank you for the circular. However, I am a bit confused as I found another notification from the Government of Jharkhand dated 14th August '15 regarding the same issue, where the minimum wages are different. Which one should be followed? Any thoughts on this? I am attaching the notification.

Regards,
Jayanta

Dear Jayanta,

It is mentioned in the notification that it is replacing the old notification dated 16.06.2011. If you were following that, you need to follow this. Also, the notification dated 14.08.2015 is for scheduled employment with a shop and establishment license. If you are in contractual work and have a contract labor license, you need to follow the notification dated 26.08.2015 only.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

From the notification of VDA, it's not clear how to calculate the rate as per category wise. Please clear the calculation process.
