NEWS IN BRIEF

(a) INDIAN LABOUR The news items reported below have been gleaned from various official and unofficial

sources. Hence, the Labour Bureau is not in a position to vouchsafe the authenticity of the unofficial news items. Employment Outlook Improves - The hiring euphoria around the Make in India initiative seems to have dimmed somewhat, even as the overall employment outlook for the April-September period reaches a three-year high, the latest half-yearly TeamLease Employment Outlook Report indicated. The report published by the staffing firm found employment generation in eight key sectors such as textiles, leather, automobiles, gems and jewellery, metals, ITeS/BPO, transport and handloom/powerloom has seen a drop. This has had a negative impact on hiring sentiment in the manufacturing, engineering and infrastructure sectors, which are the pillars of the Make in India programme. However, consumer sentiment and spending remain upbeat, leading to an improvement in the net employment outlook by 4 percentage points over the previous half year at 93, driven by sectors such as retail, ecommerce, information technology, telecommunications and fast-moving consumer goods. Net employment outlook is the difference between the number of respondents who are inclined to hire and the number of respondents who are disinclined, over the six months that the survey covers. The outlook is expressed as a percentage of the total number of respondents. For the half year, for which the outlook is being reported here, 94% responded positively (hiring would increase), 1% responded negatively (hiring would decrease) and 5% responded saying there would not be any change in the volume of hiring, from the previous half year. The net employment outlook for October-March 2015 was 89. The improvement this time is primarily based on the 3% addition of businesses that had cut back on hiring during the previous half year but whose outlook has turned positive for this coming half year. "The net employment outlook is at its highest in the last three years and barring a few sectors, the growth is happening across industries," said Kunal Sen, senior vice president at TeamLease Services.

(The Economic Times, 10.05.2016) Pace of Online Hiring Sees Slowdown - Online hiring activity in India registered 28 per cent growth in April on a year-on-year basis, although there is a relative slowdown in the pace of online hiring on a monthly basis, says a survey. The Monster.com‟s employment index, a monthly gauge of the country‟s online job demand, stood at 244 in April, registering a 28 per cent jump over the same month last year. “The MEI reveals a relative slowdown in the pace of online hiring. While the numbers are still good there is a drop from a robust 42 per cent in March to 28 per cent in April, 2016,” Monster.com India Managing Director Sanjay Modi said. According to the survey, production and manufacturing sector, is going through a fragile state of affairs. Online recruitment activities in this sector have been charting a negative six-month growth consistently since January 2016. “We as a nation are definitely heading in the right direction for a long term gain with more streamlined employment generation initiatives and strongly driven Skill India by PM with an aim to enhance employment,” he said. However, currently the scenario is a bit cautious when it comes to hiring. The Production and Manufacturing industry is yet to see the hay day but the concept of Make in India is appropriately towards greater employability, Modi said.

(The Financial Express, 11.05.2016) Make Labour Law Compliance Fully Electronic: Corporations - Mahindra & Mahindra, Hewlett Packard and Tata group companies are among the more than 800 firms which have submitted a petition to Labour Minister Shri Bandaru Dattatreya urging the government to make compliance under the forty-four labour laws completely electronic over the next two years. The


711

companies argued that every year 500 crore sheets of paper went into complying with the current labour laws and maintaining physical registers were proving to be a huge administrative burden for the employers. “As the government considers various measures for ease of doing business, we hope moving 100 per cent of labour law compliance under 44 central labour laws as important reform you will consider,” according to a letter undersigned by TeamLease Services Vice President Sonal Arora, on behalf of 828 companies. The letter stated that companies have to maintain 25 physical registers for service enterprises and 45 for factories. “Each state mandates a different format under different laws whereas the recipients are common (Factories and Labour department),” said Uma Devaguptapu, Director- HR, Asia-Pac & MEA, Signode Industrial Group and one of the petitioners. “A consolidated paperless compliance reduces the administrative burden, lowers cost resources and offers a reliable database for the organization itself. It is a low hanging fruit but the most effective step towards improving the enterprise eco-system and there by job creation,” she said in the statement. The companies have requested the government to allow employers, employees and trade unions to be able to raise labour disputes through email or website of respective labour departments under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947

(The Hindu, 17.05.2016) 15-Fold Rise in Rehab Aid in the Works for Bonded Labourers - The government plans up to 15-fold increase in financial assistance for rehabilitating bonded labourers to up to Rs.3 lakh. The Union labour ministry has come up with a revised rehabilitation scheme whereby male bonded labourer would get a financial assistance of Rs.1 lakh, while a child or woman would get Rs.2 lakh. In the case of differently-abled or physically challenged bonded labourers, the entitlement would be Rs. 3 lakh. There are about 1 million bonded labourers in the country, most of whom are Dalit farmers. At present, the government gives Rs. 20,000 as financial aid for rehabilitating a bonded labourer. “The scheme will now be a central sector scheme and will be entirely funded by the Centre for which we have enhanced the annual budget from Rs.5 crore to Rs.47 crore,” Labour Minister Shri Bandaru Dattatreya said. The government is expected to soon notify the revised scheme. The Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act of 1976 provided the constitution of a vigilance committee at district and sub-divisional level in each state and Union Territory for identification, release and rehabilitation of bonded labour in the country. The rehabilitation cost per labour under the scheme is at present equally borne between the Centre and State. It was last revised in 1999.

(The Economic Times, 18.05.2016) Gender Pay Gap in India Still Wide - Monster India, an online career and recruitment solutions provider in the country, released the latest Monster Salary Index (MSI). According to the MSI, the gender pay gap in India stands at 27 percent where men earned a median gross hourly salary of Rs. 288.68, whereas women earned only a median gross salary of Rs. 207.85 per hour. Sectors covered by the report include IT services, manufacturing, education and research, BFSI, transport, logistics and communication. Analysing the trends of the Indian job market, the highest gender pay gap was recorded in the manufacturing sector at 34.9 percent. The lowest gender pay gap was recorded in the BFSI, transport, logistics and communication sectors, equally standing at 17.7 percent. Some of the reasons behind this gender pay gap could be the preference for male employees over female employees, preference for promotion of male employees to supervisory positions, career breaks of women due to parenthood duties and other socio-cultural factors. The analysis in the report is based on the Wage Indicator dataset covering a period of 2 years and 9 months, from January 2013 to September 2015.

Employees can Defer Drawing EPS Pension - The government has allowed Employees Pension Scheme (EPS) subscribers to defer drawing their pension until they attain 60 years of age, from the present 58 years. Under the present law, members are not allowed to contribute towards pension or defer withdrawing the pension after attaining 58 years of age. Also, an employee can receive pension only after minimum 10 years of service. The government‟s new rules to increase the age criteria to 60 years of age for pension contributions and benefits were notified on April 25. At present, 8.33 per cent of a worker‟s salary up to Rs.15,000 a month, is remitted to the Employees‟ Pension Scheme of 1995. “New changes in the EPS can help members draw higher pensions by way of deferment of pension and or by contributing to the EPS till the age of 60 years. “The move by the government can help improve pension adequacy for EPS members,” according to consultancy firm KPMG India. A senior Labour Ministry official said this is a voluntary scheme that could be availed by EPS subscribers at their own will. The move is a part of the government‟s attempt to strengthen the employees pension scheme. Recently, labour and employment minister Shri Bandaru Dattatreya had said that the government was looking to increase the minimum monthly pension amount. Under the present scheme, employees get a minimum pension of Rs.1,000 every month.

(The Hindu, 19.05.2016) Govt Clears Capital Goods Policy, Eyes 21 Million New Jobs - The government gave its green light to India‟s first-ever policy on capital goods that intends to make the country a world-class hub and looks to create over 21 million additional jobs by 2025. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. “The policy will help in realising the vision of building India as the world-class hub for capital goods. It will also play a pivotal role in overall manufacturing as the pillar of strength to the vision of Make in India,” an official statement read. “This is the first-ever policy for the capital goods sector with a clear objective of increasing production of capital goods from Rs.2,30,000 crore in 2014-15 to Rs.7,50,000 crore in 2025 and raising direct and indirect employment from the current 8.4 million to 30 million.” The policy envisions increasing the share of capital goods in total manufacturing activity to 20 per cent by 2025, from 12 per cent at present. “Capital goods manufacturing if it happens in India along with the manufacturing that is going to happen downstream, the entire economy gets a fillip,” Union Railways Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu said. The policy aims to increase direct domestic employment to at least 5 million from the current 1.4 million and indirect employment to 25 million from the current 7 million by 2025, potentially providing an additional employment to over 21 million people. “The objectives of the policy will be met by the Department of Heavy Industry in a time-bound manner through obtaining approval for schemes as per the road map of policy interventions,” according to the statement. “The aim of the policy is create game-changing strategies for the capital goods sector. Some of the key issues addressed include availability of finance, raw material, innovation and technology, productivity, quality and environment-friendly manufacturing practices, promoting exports and creating domestic demand,” the statement added.

(b) FOREIGN LABOUR

Latin American and Caribbean Unemployment to Rise in 2016 - The evolution of labour markets in Latin America and the Caribbean during 2016 will generally be negative, due to forecasts for a more deteriorated macroeconomic context and growth levels than last year and to the weakening of some employment indicators, ECLAC and the International Labour Organization (ILO) said in a joint report. The United Nations organizations point out in a new edition of Employment Situation in Latin America and the Caribbean that these factors, especially the low dynamism in job creation, will likely lead to an increase in urban unemployment of more than half a percentage point (0.5) in 2016 versus 2015. “The process of continuous improvement of labour indicators that benefited the region during much of the last 15 years halted in a more unfavourable global macroeconomic context,” Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and José Manuel Salazar, Regional Director of ILO for Latin America and the Caribbean, stated in the document‟s foreword. “This underscores the importance of taking measures not only to mitigate the effects of the crisis in the short term, but also to tackle the gaps and lags over the longer term, such as scarce productive diversification, productivity gaps, high informality and inequality,” they added. The report provides an overview of the performance of Latin American and Caribbean labour markets in 2015. It indicates that, mainly as a result of a slight contraction in regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP), that year the average unemployment rate recorded its first increase since 2009, rising to 6.5% in 2015 from 6.0% in 2014.

(ILO News, 11.05.2016) Poverty Goal of 2030 Agenda at Risk without Decent Work - The global deficit in quality jobs and deteriorating economic conditions in a number of regions threatens to undo decades of progress in poverty reduction, warns a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO). What‟s more, relative poverty (Household income less than 60 per cent of national median) in developed countries is increasing. Using the latest available data, the ILO‟s „World Employment and Social Outlook (WESO) 2016 – Transforming jobs to end poverty‟, finds that over 36 per cent of the emerging and developing world live in poverty – on a daily income of less than US$ 3.10 purchasing power parity (PPP). The report calculates that some US$ 600 billion a year – or nearly US$ 10 trillion in total over 15 years – is needed to eradicate extreme (Less than US$ 1.90 PPP) and moderate (Between US$ 1.90 and US$ 3.10 PPP) poverty globally by 2030. The report concludes that the problem of persistent poverty cannot be solved by income transfers alone; more and better jobs are crucial to achieving this goal. It is estimated that almost a third of the extremely or moderately poor in developing economies have jobs. However, their employment is vulnerable in nature: they are sometimes unpaid, concentrated in low-skilled occupations and, in the absence of social protection, rely almost exclusively on labour income. Among developed countries, more workers have wage and salaried employment, but that does not stop them from falling into poverty. WESO 2016 finds that the incidence of relative poverty has increased by one percentage point in the European Union, since the start of the crisis. “Clearly, the Sustainable Development Goal of ending poverty in all its forms everywhere by 2030 is at risk,” said ILO Director-General Guy Ryder. “If we are serious about the 2030 Agenda and want to finally put an end to the scourge of poverty perpetuating across generations, then we must focus on the quality of jobs in all nations.” “Right now, while 30 per cent of the world is poor, they only hold 2 per cent of the world‟s income,” said Raymond Torres, ILO Special Advisor on Social and Economic Issues.

(ILO News, 18.05.2016) China Services Sector Expansion Slows, Employment Rebounds - Activity in China's service sector expanded again in April, though the gains were slightly less robust than in March, a private survey showed, as firms resumed adding staff after a rare decline the previous month. The Caixin/Markit services purchasing managers' index (PMI) for April dropped to 51.8 from 52.2 in March, as new business increased at the fastest pace since January while business expectations remained unchanged. Readings above 50 indicate an expansion on a monthly basis, while readings below signal contraction. The employment sub-component rose to 50.9 in April from


715

March's 48.9, reversing the first decline in staffing since August 2013. The solid new business reading was boosted by stronger underlying client demand and new products, the survey said, while companies were also able to pass along higher input prices. "Expansion in the services sector helped offset some of the impact caused by flagging manufacturing. Overall, however, the economy still faces relatively strong downward pressure," He Fan, chief economist of Caixin, said in a note. "The government needs to keep implementing moderate stimulus to prevent a hard landing of the economy." Caixin's composite manufacturing and services PMI number dropped in April after a return to growth in March, with the headline figure falling to 50.8 in April from 51.3 in March.

(The Financial Express, 06.05.2016) U.S. Job Gains Hit 7-Month Low - The U.S. economy added the fewest number of jobs in seven months in April and Americans dropped out of the labour force in droves, signs of weakness that cast doubts on whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates before the end of the year. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 160,000 jobs last month as construction employment barely rose and the retail sector shed jobs, the Labor Department said. That was the smallest gain since September and below the first-quarter average job growth of 200,000. Adding to the report's weak tone, employers added 19,000 fewer jobs in February and March than previously reported. While the unemployment rate held at 5.0 percent that was because people dropped out of the labor force. The stepdown in job gains could temper expectations of a strong rebound in economic activity in the second quarter after growth nearly stalled in the first three months of the year. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls rising 202,000 last month and the jobless rate unchanged at 5 percent. Average hourly earnings were the only bright spot in the employment report, rising eight cents or 0.3 percent last month. That took the year-on-year increase to 2.5 percent from 2.3 percent in March, still below the 3.0 percent advance that economists say is needed for inflation to rise to the Fed's 2.0 percent target.

(The Hindu, 07.05.2016) Curbs on Visas for Skilled Workers in Canada Irk India - India will raise its concerns over Canada‟s restrictions on temporary work visas for skilled professionals, as these curbs put in place two years ago have been hurting the domestic Information Technology (IT) sector. The matter would be taken up by India in a meeting with Canadian authorities early June, official sources said. The issue may also figure in bilateral talks during the likely visit of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in November. Meanwhile, Indian IT industry body Nasscom will provide details, on the adverse impact of these curbs, to a “coalition of Canadian stakeholders,” comprising of IT firms, small & medium enterprises, think-tanks and migration policy institutes. The „coalition‟ will in turn forward them to a Canadian Parliamentary panel that will comprehensively review the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). As per Nasscom estimates, Canada is among the top five markets for Indian IT companies, the others being the U.S., the U.K., Germany and Switzerland. Annual revenue of Indian IT firms from the Canadian market is around $2-3 billion. India has already taken up with the U.S. and U.K. the issue of curbs imposed by them on temporary work visas for skilled professionals. India has even dragged the US to the World Trade Organisation on the issue.

(The Hindu, 22.05.2016) Indian Companies to Pay $4,000 More for H-1B Visa Fee - Flagship Indian IT companies would have to pay at least an additional $4,000 for every H-1B visa application under the new regulations that came into effect last December, according to details published by a federal US agency. And those applying for L-1 visa petitions would have to pay $4,500 more than other US companies under the new law, which would be in effect till September 30, 2025. The H-1B visa is designed to allow US employers to recruit and employ foreign professionals in speciality occupations within the US while L-1 visas are available to employees of an international company with offices in both the US and abroad. Indian IT firms – which have to incur an additional burden of about $400 million annually – have called it “discriminatory”, with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi himself raising this at the highest level. US federal Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted the details of the increased fee on its website.

LABOUR DECISION

Dismissal or termination order would not be effective unless it is published and communicated to the officer concerned - In this case, the appellant, who was first appointed as an Assistant Teacher in Assamese subject in the Dhemaji Hindi Lower Primary School in 1976, was finally appointed as an Assistant Teacher as against the substantive vacancy in the said school by order dated 19.12.1989 of the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Dhemaji. Even though the appellant was rendering continuous service as Assistant Teacher for more than 10 years, she was not paid her salary. Aggrieved by the same, she filed a writ petition in the Gauhati High Court in 1999, which was disposed of with a direction to the respondents to release the salary of the appellant not only from the current month but also for the period she actually rendered her services as a Teacher and also to make an enquiry as to the appellant's entitlement for regularisation of her services and pass necessary orders. In view of this, the appellant was paid all arrears of her salary and other allowances till August, 2007. In the year 2005, the appellant had been given charge of the Head Mistress. On the date of crossing the "Efficiency Bar", she was also given the next increment by order dated 05.03.2005. Meanwhile, in connection with another writ petition in 2006, the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Dehmaji, submitted a report on 03.11.2006 enclosing therewith a list of 193 teachers who had been appointed in 1989 but were subsequently terminated, still drawing their salaries. In the said list of 193 candidates, the name of the appellant was shown at Serial No.168. Consequently, the respondents-authority by order dated 09.02.2007, stopped the salary of 193 teachers including the appellant. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant filed a writ petition which was dismissed by the High Court. Hence the present appeal. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that the appellant had never been terminated from her service and that no order of termination had ever been served upon her. He further submitted that without going through the relevant records and files, the respondents-Authority prepared a list of 193 teachers and included the name of the appellant for terminating their services. Also, the appellant has been paid salary by the respondents-Authority for at least 25 years without serving any termination letter upon her. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents contended that appointment of the appellant was itself illegal on the ground that she was under age at the time of her appointment. He further argued that as the appellant was appointed in a non-existent post, she did not get her salary till July, 2000. He also submitted that the respondents-Authority terminated the services of illegally appointed teachers including the appellant but they were continuing in service and drawing their salary till July, 2007. However, their salary was stopped with effect from August, 2007. Thus, the appellant's salary was also stopped as she was appointed illegally and her service was terminated in 1992. He further submitted that the High Court has rightly held that if the service of the appellant stood terminated in the year 1992 then she has no legal right to claim salary, regularisation and promotion of service as the relevant materials were not produced before it when the earlier order was passed by the High Court directing the respondents to release salary and allowances to the appellant and also to make enquiry with regard to the claim of the appellant for regularisation. After hearing both the parties, the apex Court held that mere passing of an order of dismissal or termination would not be effective unless it is published and communicated to the officer concerned. If it is held that mere passing of order of dismissal has the effect of terminating the services of the officer concerned, various complications may arise. It was further held that in the background of the facts of the case, particularly, the continued service of the appellant for the last 25 years, the impugned order passed by the High Court cannot be sustained in law. Accordingly, the appeal was allowed and held that the appellant shall be entitled to continue in service and further entitled to all arrears of salary in accordance with law. (Dulu Devi Vs.

1. 1. Industrial Workers Consumer Price Index

A.1.1.1. Labour Bureau’s Series of All India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers (Base: 2001=100) – The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers on Base : 2001=100 General and Group-wise along with Linking Factors with previous base: 1982=100 are presented in Table A.1.1.1. The All India Index is a weighted average of 78 constituent centre Indices compiled by the Labour Bureau. The current series of the Index Numbers has been introduced with effect from January, 2006 index replacing the series on base: 1982=100. The All India General Index as well as Group Indices for previous series on base: 1982=100 can be obtained by multiplying the current series indices by the respective Linking Factors. A note on the scope and methods of construction of these index numbers was published in April 2006 issue of the “Indian Labour Journal”. The All India Consumer Price Index Number for the month of April, 2016 increased by 3 point with respect to the previous month.

A.1.1.2. Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers in respect of 78 constituent centres on Base: 2001=100 – The Consumer Price Index Numbers for industrial workers on Base: 2001=100 for 78 centres compiled by the Labour Bureau are presented group wise in Table A.1.1.2 for the months of March, 2016 and April, 2016.

The Index Numbers measure the extent to which the overall levels of retail prices of goods and services consumed by Industrial Workers has changed when compared with the base period viz., 2001=100. As compared to the previous month the magnitude of rise/fall in the General Index varies from centre to centre. During April, 2016 Rourkela reported the maximum increase of 10 points followed by Goa (8 points), Angul-Talchar, Rangapara-Tezpur, Warrangal, Sholapur and Varanasi (7 points each). Among others, 6 points increase was observed in 3 centres, 5 points in 10 centres, 4 points in 15 centres, 3 points in 11 centres, 2 points in 11 centres and 1 point in 11 centres. On the Contrary, Quilon recorded a maximum decrease of 5 points followed by Madurai (3 points), Salem and Rajkot (2 points each) and Tiruchirapally and Ghaziabad (1 point each). Rest of the 4 centres‟ indices remained stationary.

A 1.1.3. Average Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Industrial Workers – The average monthly consumer prices of selected articles based on individual quotations obtained from the selected outlets which are utilised in the compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 2001=100) for Industrial Workers for 78 centres for the month of April, 2016 are set out in Table A.1.1.3. The prices reported in the table are averages of open markets prices of specified varieties of an item prevailing in the selected outlets in the selected market(s) in a given centre during the month in case of non-rationed items. So far as rationed items are concerned, the prices for the centres covered under informal rationing are the weighted average prices, the weights being the proportion of the quantity available through Public Distribution System and quantity procured from the open market in different centres in relation to base year requirements of an average family. In case of centres covered under Statutory Rationing the prices are average of the fair prices of variety (ies) of an item distributed through Fair Price Shops.

1.2 Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers: A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 - All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 replacing the earlier series on base 1960-61=100 were released with effect from November, 1995. The all-India index is a weighted average of 20 constituent State indices compiled by the Labour Bureau for Agricultural and Rural Labourers separately. A detailed note on the scope and method of construction of these indices was published in February, 1996 issue of the Indian Labour Journal.


722

The Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for 20 States and All-India are presented group-wise in Tables A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) for the months of March, 2016 and April, 2016. These index numbers measure the extent of change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by Agricultural and Rural Labourers as compared with the base period viz., 1986-87. The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers (Base: 1986-87=100) for April, 2016 increased by 5 points and 6 points to stand at 848 (Eight hundred and forty eight) points and 854 (Eight hundred and fifty four) points respectively. A.1.2.2 (a) and (b) Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Agricultural and Rural Labourers – The monthly consumer prices of selected articles of index basket of agricultural and rural labourers utilized in the compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for 20 States separately for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for the month of April, 2016 are given in Tables A.1.2.2. (a) and (b). Though the spatial coverage and the individual sample village price quotations in both the series relating to the Agricultural and Rural Labourers are the same, the weighted prices of items at the State level will be slightly different from each other due to difference in the regional weights in each of the series. 2 Wages and Earnings

A.2.1 (a) and (b) Average Daily Wage Rates for Agricultural and Non-agricultural occupations- In pursuance of the recommendations of the Technical Working Group on rural retail prices set up by the NSSO in 1974, Labour Bureau has been compiling and maintaining average daily wage rate data in respect of agricultural and non-agricultural occupations based on the data collected by the Field Operation Division of National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) from a fixed set of 600 sample villages spread over 66 NSS region in 20 states. Though these wage rate data have been collected since 1986-87, their regular compilation and dissemination started w.e.f April, 1998. The average daily wage rate data was collected for eleven agricultural and seven non-agricultural occupations till October, 2013. However, following the recommendations of the Working Group constituted by the CSO on advice of the National Statistical Commission (NSC), wage rate data is now being collected for 25 occupations (12 agricultural and 13 non-agricultural). The daily wage rate data received from the field are first normalized for eight working hours a day. The simple arithmetic average of these normalized daily wage rates is worked out for each of the 20 states. The average wage rates at all-India level are derived by dividing the sum total of wages of all the 20 states by the number of quotations. These averages are restricted only to those occupations where the numbers of quotations are five or more in order to avoid the apparent inconsistency in wages paid to different categories of workers on account of differences in number of quotations. The month-wise average daily wage rates are thus worked out at State level and also at all-India level are released regularly to the users through various sources. State-wise and all-India average daily wage rates by occupation and sex for the month of April, 2016 have been presented in Table A.2.1 (a) for agricultural occupations and Table A.2.1 (b) for non-agricultural occupations.
