Minimum Wage Rates in Maharashtra effective 1st January 2024

The parliament of India enacted the Minimum Wages Act of 1948, aiming to secure the economic rights of the workers by defining the minimum pay for different classes of workers. The Act addresses the increasing concerns of discrimination of wages among employees. Workers are classified into categories like skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled, with separate minimum wage rates for every class. The legislation is significant for both employees and employers. Effective from January 1, 2024, the Maharashtra Government has updated the minimum wage rates for different zones and classes, as outlined below:
