Karnataka minimum wage overhaul faces legal challenge
What’s happening
Karnataka moved to uniform minimum wages set by skill level and three geographic zones, with some rates rising close to 60%, but employer groups question its validity because it relies on the Minimum Wages Act that the Code on Wages repealed.
What to do
Model the payroll and vendor-cost impact for Bengaluru and other Karnataka sites and follow the High Court case.
