State-Wise Minimum Wage India 2026

This hub is built for quick payroll research. Search any state or UT, sort by wage band, open the state detail page, then compare the wage floor with your salary using the New Labour Code Salary Calculator.

The monthly figures shown here are working-month equivalents based on 26 paid days. Many states publish multiple occupation and zone rates, so use the state page and the cited public source when you need a final payroll or compliance number.

How to Read This Minimum Wage Table

The table categorises wages into unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled levels, reflecting standard labour department notifications. The daily rate shown is the legally mandated minimum for a single working day. The monthly equivalent is simply the daily rate multiplied by 26 paid working days. Keep in mind that these are absolute floor rates; employers are legally permitted to pay more, but never less. Furthermore, actual compliance rates can vary widely depending on the specific state, zones within a state, and the specialized industry notifications that apply to your exact business.

Why Minimum Wage Matters Under New Wage Code 2026

Under the new regulatory structure of the Wage Code 2026, the fundamental definition of 'wages' has been significantly broadened across the board. Because of this expanded definition, the state minimum wage now forms the strict floor for calculating Provident Fund (PF) contributions under several emerging legal interpretations. If you discover that you are an employee actively earning below the official state minimum wage for your skill category, you have the right to file a formal grievance or complaint. To see exactly how these wage floors structurally alter your paycheck, check out our New Labour Code Salary Calculator.
