Majority organizations in India pay shift allowance for Night Shift only as it is considered a hardship. There may be organizations that pay shift allowance for other shifts, which I have never come across.

The amount of night shift allowance depends on the capacity of the organization to pay. Usually, it is a fixed amount paid for each night shift, varying between 200/- per night to 500/- per night (approx).

Hi,

Though no law mandates shift allowance, it varies from organization to organization. Usually, organizations pay shift allowance, particularly for 2nd and 3rd shift workers, to address both the hardships faced by employees working odd shifts and absenteeism. Paying shift allowance is typically part of a long-term wage settlement with a trade union.
