Haryana minimum wage rates: all scheduled employments

Haryana applies a single rate across the state and across all employments, with no zone classification.

Skill categoryPer dayTotal per month
Unskilled₹585.41₹15,220.71
Semi-skilled₹645.41₹16,780.74
Skilled₹711.56₹18,500.81
Highly skilled₹747.14₹19,425.85

Haryana notifies a single consolidated figure per category rather than a separate basic and dearness allowance, so the table shows the total only.

Rates cover all scheduled employments only. Other employments notified in Haryana carry their own notified rates, which are usually higher. Verify against the state notification before running payroll.

How Haryana sets minimum wages

Governing law

Code on Wages, 2019, in force from 21 November 2025. The rates below come from the Labour Department's notification of 9 April 2026, effective 1 April 2026, issued under the Code.

Employment covered

All scheduled employments

Revision cycle

Dearness allowance revised on 1 January and 1 July; base rates reset from 1 April 2026

Haryana is one of the simplest states to configure and one of the most expensive. One table covers every employment, every district and every establishment, so Gurugram and a village shop pay the same floor, and the notification says in terms that the figure cannot be split into allowances by the employer: it is the minimum basic wage. The figures carry paise, and payroll should carry them rather than round down. One provision catches employers out: trainees must be paid at least 75 per cent of the rate for their category, never below the unskilled rate, and the training period is capped at a year. The April 2026 notification was issued under the Code on Wages and reset the base, so the next dearness revision starts from these figures.

Frequently asked questions: Haryana minimum wages

From 1 April 2026, ₹15,220.71 a month or ₹585.41 a day for unskilled work, ₹16,780.74 semi-skilled, ₹18,500.81 skilled and ₹19,425.85 highly skilled, under the Labour Department's notification of 9 April 2026. The same rates apply in every district and every employment.
No. Haryana has no zones. The rate for a shop in Gurugram is the same as for one in Sirsa.
No. The notification treats the figure as the minimum basic wage and says it cannot be broken up into allowances. Employers who pay part of it as HRA or conveyance are underpaying basic, which also understates provident fund.
At least 75 per cent of the rate for the category the trainee is being trained in, and never less than the unskilled rate. The training period cannot exceed one year, after which the full rate applies.
The dearness allowance is revised on 1 January and 1 July on the Consumer Price Index. The 1 April 2026 notification was a base reset under the Code on Wages, so the next dearness revision is expected from 1 January 2027 on these figures.
