As for the revised minimum wages notification regarding Shop and Establishments in Kerala, I currently have the hard copy of Labour Gazette received at my office. Incidentally, I don't have any scanner with me to scan it for posting. I will try to put a scanned copy by next week.

For persons interested in Labour welfare information in Kerala, the Labour Department publishes a monthly magazine in Malayalam called "Thozhil Kshemarangam" with information on minimum wages notification, variable DA points, etc. A one-year subscription costs only Rs. 100 and can be obtained by sending a Money Order to: The Editor, Thozhil Kshemarangam, Labour Commissioner's Office, Housing Board Buildings, Thiruvananthapuram-695001.

Basic wages are the most relevant portion of Minimum Wages. It does not include any other allowances or benefits. Purely, it is the base or the relevant portion of wages fixed by the Minimum Wages Committee appointed through notification by the government. Every other allowance is paid to the employee in addition to the basic wages. Basic wages are 100% of basic wages only. Variable Dearness Allowance based on the Consumer Price Index and Municipal Allowance, etc., are paid in addition to the basic wages. According to the Supreme Court judgment, Minimum wages contain only two portions - basic wages and DA for calculating the Gross Minimum Wages.

The Dearness Allowance (D.A.) point is based on the Consumer Price Index. With the increase in inflation or fluctuation in market prices, the D.A. point may vary. The D.A. is fixed for certain years. The current D.A. is based on the 1998-99 index. You can obtain the latest minimum wage scales from the nearest Labour offices. I will provide you with the exact information on the nearest Labour office if you share your location.
