Delhi Government boost minimum wages

With the April update, this modification represents the second wage adjustment for 2024. Every two years, in April and October, the government updates the VDA in response to changes in the Consumer Price Index for industrial workers. October 1st is when the increase in minimum pay will take effect. Minimum wage rates are based on geographic areas and skill levels.

It has been stated by the central government that the Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA) will be revised to increase the minimum pay rates. The goal of this adjustment is to assist workers—especially those in the unorganized sector—with managing the growing expense of living.

This will come into force on October 1st, 2024. Workers in a number of industries, including building construction, loading and unloading, watch and ward, sweeping, cleaning, housekeeping, mining, and agricultural, will benefit from the increased earnings. These industries fall under the category of central sphere establishments.


The skill levels that determine the minimum wage rates are unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled, and highly skilled. These skill levels are further subdivided by geographic regions that are designated as areas A, B, and C.

According to the latest revision for Area “A,” unskilled laborers in industries like cleaning and construction will make Rs 783 per day, or Rs 20,358 per month. Workers classified as semi-skilled will now make Rs 868 per day, or Rs 22,568 per month, while clerks and skilled laborers will make Rs 954 per day, or Rs 24,804 per month. Highly trained staff would receive Rs 1,035 per day, or Rs 26,910 per month, along with armed watch and ward personnel.


With the April update, this modification represents the second wage adjustment for 2024. Every two years, in April and October, the government updates the VDA in response to changes in the Consumer Price Index for industrial workers.
