The salary structure for housekeeping staff depends on many components such as the Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and other allowances.
Basic Salary: This is the core salary and it varies based on the company and its policies. Typically, for housekeeping staff in Mumbai, it may range between INR 8,000 to INR 15,000 per month.
Dearness Allowance (DA): The DA is a cost of living adjustment allowance. It is calculated as a percentage of an Indian citizen's basic salary to mitigate the impact of inflation on people. The current DA percentage, as of 2021, is 28%.
House Rent Allowance (HRA): HRA is given by the employer to the employee to meet the cost of renting a home. It can range from 24% to 50% of the basic salary depending on the location.
Other Allowances: These include leave travel allowance (LTA), meal allowances, overtime allowance, etc., and can vary based on the company's policies.
Regarding the new notifications on DA & Basic, the Indian Government announced a hike in the DA for central government employees from 17% to 28% effective from 1st July 2021. For the latest updates, I recommend regularly checking the Indian Ministry of Labour & Employment website
http://labour.gov.in for official notifications.
Please note that these figures can vary based on the company's policies and the individual's job role, experience, skills, and performance. Always ensure the salary structure is in compliance with the current Minimum Wages Act.
Remember to provide the employees with a clear and detailed salary slip that includes all the salary components. It ensures transparency and helps avoid any potential disputes or confusion.
