Minimum Wage Increase 2025 : Workers from Madhya Pradesh get to hear some good news. Based on an increase of 2 points in average consumer price indices from January to June 2024, the Labor Department has announced the increase in dearness allowance by Rs 50 per month. This increase, with effect from 1 October 2024, will benefit 21 lakh workers.
Amendment In The Minimum Wage For Agricultural And State Workers
The government of the state has decided on new minimum wages as a promotion step for all workers. From now on, the minimum wage applicable for agriculture workers will be fixed at Rs 9,670 per worker, while that for government workers will be Rs 11,850 per month. It is all an effort to better the conditions of living of the workers.
Detailed Distribution Of Dearness Allowance
If I understand correctly, the new rates will benefit workers working in a variety of sectors. The increase will aid workers in agriculture, construction, transportation, and health. However, this assistance will be limited to those workers on minimum wages. This must be so that their standard of living can improve.
Separate Policy For Textile And Related Industries
The government has not implemented the new increase of dearness allowance on textile, made-ups, and footwear manufacturing industries. They have a plan to re-fix the wage rates in these industries. New rates are soon to be announced for around 4 lakh workers working in these industries, so as to get the proper compensation for their work.
