Minimum Wages in Kerala
In Kerala, wages are not notified every year or quarter. There is a minimum wages notification available, which shows the minimum basic salary payable to each category of employee. The Department of Economics and Statistics publishes the cost of living index every month, based on which you calculate the variable dearness allowance payable. The sum total of these two will satisfy the legal requirements. You can get the minimum wages notifications from the official website of the Labour Department, Government of Kerala.
