New Delhi: The Delhi government has announced revised minimum wages for workers employed in scheduled jobs, following changes in the dearness allowance by the Centre, officials said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the Secretary-cum-Labour Commissioner said the updated wage rates are effective from April 1 and will apply to unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled workers, including those with formal educational qualifications.
“This enhancement in wages will offer relief to a large section of workers in the city,” the statement noted.
Under the revised structure, unskilled workers will now earn Rs 18,456 per month, up from Rs 18,066. Semi-skilled workers will receive Rs 20,371, compared to the earlier Rs 19,929.

For workers with graduate-level education or higher, the wage has increased to Rs 24,356 from Rs 23,836.
