Minimum Wage Calculation Kaise Hoti Hai?
Minimum wage calculate karte waqt ye factors consider hote hain:
- Consumer Price Index (CPI) — Mehangai badhne pe wage bhi badhta hai
- Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA) — Har 6 months mein revise hota hai
- Basic Wage + VDA = Total Minimum Wage
- Working hours: 8 hours/day, 48 hours/week
Example Calculation
Delhi mein skilled worker ka minimum wage:
- Basic wage: ₹638
- VDA: ₹225
- Total: ₹863/day
Overtime: ₹863 / 8 hours x 2 = ₹215.75/hour overtime
Actual Market Rates vs Minimum Wage
