ANWAR PRADEEP
Dear Sirs, Please clarify whether the Minimum Wages Act is applicable only to daily wage earners/casual labor or whether regular temporary and permanent staff are also covered under the Minimum Wages Act. Regards, Pradeep Anwar

Minimum Wages Notification

The state governments notify minimum wages for specific industries such as textiles, manufacturing, etc. Normally, various types of occupations in each industry are included, encompassing both white-collar and blue-collar trades.

The minimum wage notification does not differentiate between daily wages or monthly wages; indeed, the notification specifies both daily wage and monthly wage components. The notification is issued twice a year.
