Minimum Wage in Rajasthan 2026
Rajasthan’s 2026 wage landscape spans Jaipur’s services and construction growth, mining and stone processing belts, textile clusters, tourism in Udaipur and Jaisalmer, and logistics across long-distance corridors. Professional tax is not generally levied in Rajasthan, so PT deduction is typically nil for workers employed within the state. The New Labour Code matters strongly for Rajasthan workers in contractor-heavy sectors such as mining support, hospitality, and site construction, where allowances and cash components have historically blurred statutory compliance; clearer wage-definition rules improve visibility of whether minimum floors are truly met. One distinct labour-market fact is the state’s high share of employment tied to seasonal tourism and project-based infrastructure, which can produce frequent short-contract cycles and inconsistent skill classification. Employers that maintain state-correct category mapping, documented daily rates, and transparent no-PT payroll treatment are better positioned to prevent wage claims and maintain stable workforce confidence across both urban and semi-arid industrial regions.
People also compare minimum wage Rajasthan, daily wage Rajasthan, and salary per day Rajasthan when checking payslips, vendor quotes, and appointment letters—the table below translates those phrases into notified skill-wise floors.

Rates are compiled for quick payroll research and cite a public wage notification below. For statutory filings, confirm against your state labour department circular and the Ministry of Labour and Employment framework (Code on Wages). Where Provident Fund applies, wage definitions can interact with EPFO guidance—validate specifics with your compliance advisor.
| Category | Daily Rate | Monthly Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Unskilled | ₹259 | ₹6734 |
| Semi-Skilled | ₹272 | ₹7072 |
| Skilled | ₹284 | ₹7384 |
| Highly Skilled | ₹298 | ₹7748 |
Monthly equivalent uses 26 paid working days (site convention for cross-state comparison). Your establishment may use a different pay cycle—adjust multiplication accordingly.
Is your Rajasthan employer paying you correctly?
In Rajasthan, minimum wage violations are most common in stone quarrying, textile, and tourism sectors. If you work in these industries and earn below ₹6,734/month (unskilled rate), your employer is violating the law. You can file a complaint with the Rajasthan Labour Department or call the central helpline 1800-11-1565 (free).
How minimum wages differ across Rajasthan
Notifications may separate zone categories across Jaipur, Jodhpur, and other municipal lists—two Rajasthan cities rarely share identical schedules even if political headlines speak broadly. Mines and solar sites sometimes rely on contractor pyramids; principal employers should verify floors at every tier. Tourism seasonality tempts daily cash pay—document categories anyway.
Example: daily wage and monthly salary in Rajasthan (2026)
A skilled artisan in a Jaipur export workshop on monthly retainer plus piece incentives: For 2026, the referenced scheduled-employment floor for unskilled work is ₹259 per day, which lines up with roughly ₹6734 per month on a 26-day basis. A skilled worker at the notified rate would be ₹284/day (₹7384/month at 26 days)—use your actual paid days if your payroll calendar differs.
How is minimum wage calculated in Rajasthan?
Rajasthan publishes minimum wages through labour department notifications, usually by skill level and scheduled employment (and sometimes by zone or city class). This page uses a consolidated snapshot so you can compare states quickly; for audits, map each job to the exact schedule row in the official PDF linked below—not to informal market chatter.
Penalty for violation in Rajasthan
Underpayment can trigger wage claims, inspections, recovery orders, and penalties depending on the Code on Wages and state enforcement practice. Treat the published floor as a compliance baseline—paying “market average” below the notified rate for a mapped category is a high-risk shortcut.
How to file a complaint in Rajasthan
Collect appointment letters, attendance proof, pay slips, and bank credits, then approach the labour department or labour commissioner handling wage disputes in Rajasthan. Many states now offer online labour portals—use the official government domain for submissions, not third-party forms.
