Sir, my question is on minimum wages which have been increased by 27% as mentioned in the gazette notification stating that it will be applicable from March 2017. However, there is still confusion as to whether it should be effective from March 2017 or if there is a stay on this decision until September '17. Please clarify whether it will be applicable or if we should wait until September.

Dear Savita,
The MW rate has been revised @ approx 37% or so by Govt of the NCT of Delhi.
However, there are two scenarios regarding the implementation:-
I
This has been challenged by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Hon’ble High Court. The next hearing is fixed for 11th Sep. 2017. But it is not cleared whether the "STAY" is applicable for all or only for the member's of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
II
Secondly, the Labour Office is insisting to implement the same in r/o manpower deployed under Delhi Govt Establishments (deployed through various contractors & sub-contractors). The Labour Office is chasing such establishments who are covered under them in various regulations (S&E Act, CLA Act, Factory Act, etc.).
However, some companies has implemented the same with immediate effect, coz the MW is revised every year in Apr. We have instructed our sub contractor for the implementation. We have clubbed some allowances in the revised Basic. Earlier we used to pay some allowances (in addition to the notified Basic Wages), in order to reduce extra cost burden the allowances have been reduced/minimized.
Your establishment can also postpone it, but in case any action taken by Labour Office, than you would also required to challenge the same in the Court.
