Minimum wages in Uttarakhand

What does the minimum wage in Uttarakhand depend on?

Like other states, Uttarakhand fixes minimum wages separately for each type of work (such as security services, shops and establishments, or construction), for each skill level (unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled, highly skilled), and often for different zones. Rates usually have a basic part and a VDA that is revised from the cost of living, often twice a year. Read the current notification for the category, skill and zone of each site.

When are the rates revised?

VDA is adjusted every April and October on the average consumer price index of the previous half-year.

What should you know before you check the rates?

• Not shown as verified: the April 2026 VDA order refers to a 22 April 2026 government order amending the basic rates, which we could not open on an official site. Check the current rates with the Uttarakhand Labour Department before you pay or quote.

Where do these figures come from?

Check the current notification on the Uttarakhand labour department website. Last checked by us on 8 October 2026.
