To reduce challenges of inflation being faced by the working class, Delhi Labour Minister Raaj Kumar Anand has issued an order to increase monthly wages of unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workers, the AAP said in a statement Thursday.
The government has announced a new minimum wage by adding a dearness allowance. A salary hike will also be given to employees of clerical and supervisor classes such as non-matriculation, matriculation and graduate employees. The revised salaries are applicable from October 1.
The monthly wage of skilled workers and matric-pass employees has been increased by Rs 816. The monthly salary of semi-skilled workers and non-matric employees has been increased by Rs 742. An increase of Rs 673 has been provided to unskilled labourers. Meanwhile, for employees with educational qualifications of graduate and above, the salary has been hiked by Rs 888.
As per the statement, Anand pointed out that the economic challenges, aggravated by high inflation and other factors, have impacted all segments of society. He added, “This step has been taken to provide relief to the underprivileged and the working class in Delhi who are grappling with the challenges of inflation.”
