Karnataka notifies final draft of minimum wages with average increase of 60%
In a relief to over one crore workers across 81 scheduled employments in Karnataka reeling under pressure of rising prices of essential commodities, the Karnataka government on Friday notified the final draft of minimum wages — ranging from ₹19,300 for an unskilled worker in Zone 3 to ₹31,100 for the highly skilled worker in Zone 1. The average increase of minimum wages is about 60% from the current wages.
