Notes on this jurisdiction's rules and sources
Gujarat fixes basic daily minimum wages by scheduled employment (46 scheduled employments plus ship breaking and sweeping/cleaning, and six piece-rate/rural employments) in two zones (Zone I municipal corporations and urban development authority areas; Zone II other municipalities and the rest of the state) and three skill bands (unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled). On top of the basic rate the Labour Commissioner declares a daily "special allowance" (CPI-linked, like a VDA) every six months for 1 April-30 September and 1 October-31 March; for 01-04-2026 to 30-09-2026 it is Rs.60.50 per day for the 46 scheduled employments (circular dated 01/04/2026). Monthly rate = daily x 26. No rows are published yet - the special allowance circular alone does not state a minimum wage.
