The Administrator of Dadra and Nagar Haveli & Daman and Diu has issued a notification on October 28, 2024, announcing the revision of minimum wages and special allowances, effective from April 1, 2024.
The revised rates are outlined in the table below:
Class of Employment | Basic Per Day | VDA Per Day | Total Minimum Per Day |
Un-Skilled | 441.00 | 35.00 | 476.00 |
Semi-Skilled | 452.00 | 35.00 | 487.00 |
Skilled | 462.00 | 35.00 | 497.00 |
Key Points to Remember:
- Effective Date: The revised wages are effective from April 1, 2024.
- Arrears: Employers must ensure that any arrears from April 1, 2024, are paid to employees/workers.
- Existing Wages: If the wages paid to employees are already higher than the revised minimum wages, the higher wages should continue without change.
This revision ensures that employees receive fair compensation that accounts for both basic wages and the Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA), reflecting current economic conditions.
