Minimum Wages in Gurugram and Faridabad (NCR)

Employers in Gurugram and Faridabad sometimes assume NCR proximity means Delhi rates apply. It does not. Workers in Gurugram and Faridabad follow Haryana minimum wage rates, not Delhi rates. The same 1 April 2026 figures apply across both cities. If you operate on both sides of the border, compare the two carefully - see minimum wages in Delhi. 

Key Compliance Rules for Employers

  1. Applies to all establishments, factories, and contract labouroperating in Haryana. 
  2. Pay the wage as a whole.It cannot be split into basic and allowances to meet the minimum. 
  3. Equal wages for men and womenno gender pay difference is permitted. 
  4. Trainees: 75% of the applicable grade,never below the unskilled rate, with training capped at one year. 
  5. Principal employers are liablefor ensuring contractors also pay the minimum wage. 
  6. Display the current rate noticein Hindi and English at the workplace. 
  7. Rates are revised periodicallyin line with the Consumer Price Index. Check for a fresh gazette each half-year to stay compliant. 

Staying Compliant Without the Manual Work

Tracking wage-grade changes across every notification, for every worker, is where compliance slips. A missed revision means underpayment, arrears and interest. Payroll software with built-in statutory compliance flags any wage that falls below the notified floor and updates rates automatically when a new gazette is issued. Pairing it with payroll automation keeps grade-wise wages, overtime and deductions accurate every cycle.
