Sir, what are the basic wages for Construction Workmen (Highly Skilled, Skilled, Semi-Skilled, and Unskilled) in Zone-II, Bangalore. How can we determine which zone we belong to?

Thank you.

Thank you, Ram Navrathnaji, for providing the information on M.W. in Karnataka.

Normally, the M.W. is revised annually twice; once from 1st April and the second time from 1st Oct. of every year. The first sentence states that the Karnataka State revised the MW from 30.12.2017, and the second paragraph mentions MW being effective from 1.4.2018. However, the effective date of the MW revision is not clear. I would appreciate your comments on this matter.

Hi Neyim,

In Karnataka, minimum wages are revised once a year. This year, the Government of Karnataka changed the basics of some of the schedules, including Shop & Establishment, which is effective from 30th December 2017. As per the notification, companies need to pay the revised Basic + DA. Additionally, in April, they amended the DA, which is effective from April 2018.

Thank you.

Hi Praveen,

Thanks for your update on M.W. - Karnataka. Actually, I worked for a Central Government establishment, and the Central minimum wage used to revise twice a year - once in April and the second time in October. Now, I am no longer with the Central Government establishment as I have retired.

Thanks once again.

Sorry if this has already been addressed. What is the minimum wage for the BPO and IT sectors?

Hi ANONYMOUS,

In Karnataka, there is no separate schedule of employment under IT/BPO. Hence, most of the organizations follow Shops & Establishment minimum wages.

Hi Neyim Khan,

Minimum wages in Karnataka are revised every April based on the CPI points. However, in 2017, they revised the Basic salary and DA (Rs.367) as it had been more than 5 years since such a revision had occurred. Additional DA from Apr'18 to Mar'19 is Rs.317, making the total DA Rs.683.

Hope I clarified.

Regards,
Ram.

Thank you to Ram Sir for clarifying about IT, BT Cos. and MW in Karnataka, and also regarding the recent revision of MW by the Karnataka Government. As the number of IT, BT, MNC Cos. is increasing and a lot of employees are working in them, it would be beneficial for the Karnataka Government to establish separate MW for them. Some companies pay well, while others pay less due to lack of regulation. I request seniors to provide guidance.

Dear All,

Kindly let me know the consequences to be faced in case there is a delay in implementing the same.

Regards,
Amith

Dear Amith,

You have not furnished valid reasons for non-implementation. I presume that it is not for bonafide reasons. You are liable to pay the difference in minimum wages. Additionally, the authority under the Minimum Wages Act can impose a penalty of 10 times the short payment. Consequently, please implement the applicable minimum wages from the date notified.

Minimum wage is a poor way to reduce inequality and boost incomes for the poor. When I had to do my finance assignment, I realized EITC and direct cash transfers are far preferable, especially since it is a fairly simple mechanism to set up and would not distort the labor market.

One problem though! It is politically impossible, thanks in large part to the type of work organizations like the American Enterprise Institute undertake. EITC and cash transfers are seen as welfare for undeserving losers. To boost payments, taxes would have to go up on high-income earners, another impossibility.

Hi Members,

I would like to know:

1. If minimum wage means "minimum basic" (we do not have DA as part of our structure) or "minimum gross" (gross in our org structure includes Basic, HRA, Conveyance, Special Allowance, and Statutory Bonus).

2. If we go by "Shops and Establishment" minimum wage for Karnataka is 15,423.4 per month (which is quite higher as compared to Rs 9,836.97 for Haryana and Rs 9,364 for Maharashtra). Does it mean any employee in the IT Industry in Bangalore, even at the entry level, has to be paid a minimum of 15,423.4 which is just the basic (if minimum wage means minimum basic) and adding to that to other components and PF, the Annual CTC reaches more than 3 LPA!!

I would like to know the latest (2018-2019) minimum wages for a food manufacturing company in Hoskote, Karnataka.

Dear All,

For Karnataka Service Seniority Allowance, suppose the basic pay is Rs. 25,000, but the minimum wages under Shops & Commercial Establishment for High Skilled (Zone 1) is Rs. 16,106 (Basic+VDA). In this scenario, the SSA would be calculated on which basic pay. Will this need to be paid every month?

I am also looking forward to answers/views on the following details:

Dear AJ,

The basic salary of Rs25,000/- per month is above the prescribed minimum wages. Consequently, service weightage allowance is not applicable in this particular case. Statutory Bonus (The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965) cannot be a part of the monthly gross salary. Please do not compare the minimum wages notification enacted by respective State Governments, which is applicable for scheduled establishments situated in the respective state.

The employer's share of PF cannot be a part of the monthly gross salary.

Thank you, Mr. Srinath,

What will be the consequences if the Earned Basic is Rs. 15,000 under the Karnataka Shops & Commercial Establishment Act? How is the Service Weightage allowance calculated? It would be a great help if the following details can be addressed:

If we consider the "Shops and Establishment" minimum wage for Karnataka, which is Rs. 15,423.4 per month (significantly higher than Rs. 9,836.97 for Haryana and Rs. 9,364 for Maharashtra), does this mean that any employee in the IT industry in Bangalore, even at an entry level, has to be paid a minimum of Rs. 15,423.4?

Thanks again.
