Madhya Pradesh raised the employer share from ₹30 to ₹50 per employee per half-year, and the minimum employer contribution per establishment from ₹1,500 to ₹2,500, by amending section 9(2) of the Adhiniyam (No. LAB-8-0003-2025-Sec-1-XVI(LAB), Madhya Pradesh Gazette of January 30, 2026), effective on publication. The employee share is unchanged at ₹10. The minimum matters for small establishments: below 50 employees, the ₹2,500 floor is what the employer actually pays. MP's applicability threshold, a single employee on any working day in the past year, is one of the broadest among LWF states, comparable to Goa's.
