What a telecaller does, and how the wage is set
Telecallers make and take calls for sales, support or follow-up and update the CRM after each call. Communication skill and basic computer use place them around the semi-skilled or clerical grade.
A telecaller typically does outbound and inbound calling, lead follow-up and CRM updates, work generally classified as semi-skilled for minimum-wage purposes, so use the semi-skilled category in the table above for the base rate. A supervisor or a specialised telecaller may sit a grade higher and must be paid more. Telecallers are commonly deployed at BPOs, sales offices, clinics and finance firms.
Uttarakhand revises the Variable Dearness Allowance periodically, typically around 1 April and 1 October. The rates on this page are effective from 1 April 2026. For how Uttarakhand structures and revises its rates in full, including every category and zone, see the Uttarakhand minimum wages page.
What employers must do
- Pay every telecaller at least the notified minimum for their category and zone. Paying below it is an offence.
- Pay overtime at twice the ordinary rate for work beyond normal hours.
- Maintain a wage register, muster roll and wage slips, and pay within the wage period.
- Update payroll at each revision so no worker slips below the new minimum.
For staffing firms deploying telecallers across Uttarakhand, keeping each worker on the right category and zone rate by hand is error-prone. ZeniaHR payroll checks every wage against the applicable state minimum automatically and handles the registers and PF/ESI returns. See also our statutory compliance software.
