For a skilled worker, the wage has been increased from Rs 248 to Rs 285 - a hike of 962 in the monthly wage.

The wages in respect of clerical and non-technical supervisory staff have also been increased. Non-matriculates will get Rs 259 per day instead of Rs 225. Their monthly wages will go up by Rs 884 from Rs 5,850.
