Our Assessment

The statutory basis for a national floor wage has been strengthened through the Code on Wages: when the four Labour Codes came into force on 21 November 2025, a Central-government-fixed floor wage became enforceable, below which no state can set minimum wages, and states are required to issue revised minimum-wage notifications. This institutionalises periodic wage-setting. However, the headline national floor wage figure had remained at an older advisory level for years without a fresh upward revision, so the specific "review from time to time" pledge is structurally enabled but not yet clearly demonstrated through an actual revised floor-wage number. Partial.
