Stipend is the honorarium paid to an apprentice or learner for living expenses. It is not wages; this is the general principle that will apply in respect of apprentices under the Apprenticeship Act, 1961, and those undergoing training under any apprenticeship scheme as provided for in the certified standing orders of the industrial establishment. However, the E.C Act, 1923, or ESI Act, 1948, is applicable to apprentices as well.
Minimum Rate of Stipend for Apprentices
The Ministry of Labour and Employment, through its notification G.S.R 680(E) dated 22-09-2014, prescribed the minimum rate of stipend per month payable to trade apprentices, which shall be calculated as a percentage of the remuneration of the semi-skilled workers under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, as applicable to the territory.
Daily Wage Housekeeping Staff and Minimum Wages
Certainly, the daily wage housekeeping staff would come under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948.
