Manipur minimum wage rates: all scheduled employments

Manipur applies a single all-inclusive rate across the state and across all 24 scheduled employments, with no zone classification.

Skill categoryPer dayTotal per month
Unskilled₹400₹12,000
Semi-skilled₹440₹13,200
Skilled₹480₹14,400

Manipur 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 Manipur carry their own notified rates, which are usually higher. Verify against the state notification before running payroll.

Official source

Labour and Employment Department, Government of Manipur: notification No. LAB-1/22/2021-LAB & EM, Manipur Gazette No. 46, effective 27 February 2025 ↗

Manipur's 2025 notification replaced the 2016 and 2021 schedules with one all-inclusive rate for all 24 scheduled employments: ₹400, ₹440 and ₹480 a day for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled work. There is no highly skilled category and no separate dearness allowance. The monthly figure is the daily rate multiplied by 30, which is how the notification expresses it. The notification provides for a variable dearness allowance to be adjusted twice a year on the all-India CPI for industrial workers, but no VDA order had been issued by September 2026, so the February 2025 figures are still the payable rates. Overtime is at double the rate.

Not yet. The 2025 notification fixes an all-inclusive rate and provides for a half-yearly VDA adjustment on the CPI, but no adjustment had been notified by September 2026.
Yes. The notification applies uniform rates across all 24 scheduled employments, so the floor is the same for a shop, a hotel or a construction site.
The daily rate multiplied by 30, as the notification states it. ₹400 a day for unskilled work gives ₹12,000 a month.
