Who fixes this wage
Electronics and Electrical Goods is a notified scheduled employment for which the Uttar Pradesh government fixes minimum wages by skill category, and in most cases by geographical zone as well. Any covered manufacturing, assembly, testing, or repair unit operating in Uttar Pradesh must pay each worker at least the notified rate matching that worker's skill level and zone.
How Uttar Pradesh sets minimum wages
Uttar Pradesh's Labour Department fixes a single statewide schedule with no zones and a compact three-category grading of workers. Each rate is presented as a monthly figure and then converted to a daily figure over 26 days, with the current wages effective from 1 April 2026. The state relies on fresh notifications to revise, not on an automatic dearness allowance.
Common questions
What is the current minimum wage for Electronics and Electrical Goods in Uttar Pradesh?
In Uttar Pradesh, the minimum wage for Electronics and Electrical Goods currently runs from about ₹435 to ₹536 per day and ₹11314 to ₹13940 per month, depending on skill category and zone, effective 1 April 2026. The exact figure by category is in the table below. Confirm the exact rate for your worker's skill category and zone in the table above, and against the latest official notification.
Does the minimum wage differ for a soldering technician and a helper in the same unit?
Yes. Uttar Pradesh notifies a separate minimum wage rate for each skill category, so a soldering technician classified as skilled is entitled to a higher notified rate than a helper classified as unskilled, even when both work in the same electronics unit. Pay each worker according to the category their actual work fits.
Is a worker who only repairs or refurbishes electrical and electronic goods covered by this employment?
Repair, refurbishment, and service work on electrical and electronic goods generally falls within this notified scheduled employment in Uttar Pradesh, so such workers should be paid at the rate for the skill category that matches their role. Confirm the classification against the current Uttar Pradesh notification, since some service activities may be listed separately.
How should a new hand on an SMT or assembly line be classified for minimum wage purposes?
A worker doing productive assembly, soldering, or testing work is usually placed in the skill category that matches the task, not left out simply for being new to the line. Genuine apprentices engaged under the apprenticeship framework are governed by separate rules, so check how Uttar Pradesh treats the specific engagement before deciding the applicable rate.
