NEWS IN BRIEF

(a) INDIAN LABOUR The news items reported below have been gleaned from various official and unofficial

sources. Hence, the Labour Bureau is not in a position to vouchsafe the authenticity of the unofficial news items. Job Seekers Throng Employment Exchanges as Economy Sputters - The number of job seekers registering with employment exchanges in India has risen over 11% in 2012 in comparison with the previous year, as economic growth fell to its lowest in a decade forcing employers to cut flab or freeze hiring to stay competitive. While slowdown could be a major factor, Labour Secretary M Sarangi said that modernisation of employment exchanges in states like Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu along with special schemes like unemployment allowance announced by Uttar Pradesh may have increased the enrollment. Perceiving the importance of boosting jobs, the government has introduced a Bill in Parliament to revamp employment exchanges to help freshers get placed easily as per their skill sets, said Sarangi. Though employment exchanges had in recent decades lost their relevance as most openings have come up in the private sector, and that too based on contracts. But due to the latest moves, the number of registrations at employment exchanges have risen to 4.47 crore at the end of January 2013 from 4.02 crore in 2011, according to the latest data available with the Labour Ministry. Comparative data from the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and the Labour Ministry show job registrations, which had fallen 3.6% during 2007 when the economy was growing at 9.3% just before the Lehman crisis, started rising as economic growth started to dip after 2010. While the GDP growth slowed 5.2% in 2011 from 7% in 2011, job registration went up by 11.3% last year against the 3.5% in 2012. By amending the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959, the government plans to rename employment exchanges as “employment guidance and promotion centres” and focus on vocational guidance and career counseling, apart from their role of registration, submission and placement centres.

(The Indian Express, 03.05.2013) Monster Salary Index Launched in Association with Paycheck.in & IIMA - At a time when how much I am worth in the job market is a question in every jobseeker’s mind, Monster India in association with Paycheck.in (managed by WageIndicator Foundation) has launched the Monster Salary Index, with the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, as research partner. The index provides jobseekers information on salaries, labour market data and relevant content concerning labour law and careers. The index aims to empower jobseekers with benchmarking to compare their salaries with millions of anonymous profiles across a broad spectrum of industry domains. The initiative offers those currently employed, employers and trade unions with information related to salary, working conditions, minimum wages and other work-related issues. At the core of the index is an online Salary Survey launched by the WageIndicator Foundation and Paycheck.in in 2005, with IIMA as research partner, to understand and develop salary and wage indicators for the Indian market.

(The Financial Express, 06.05.2013) Women Joining After Maternity Leave, Save Costs, Increase Productivity - Women employees, joining back after maternity leave, can help in improving overall productivity as the company can save training and recruitment costs, says a survey by business services firm Regus.


687

According to the survey conducted among 26,000 business people globally including India, 65 per cent of respondents think that hiring returning mothers can improve productivity because they offer skills and experience which are difficult to find in the current market. The survey also said that employers should adopt measures to retain women through their work maternity programs. It suggested that employees can encourage women in returning to work after a maternity leave, by introducing greater flexibility, near-site creche facilities, increased use of video-conferencing technology and option to work closer to home, among others. Meanwhile, the survey showed India is behind other Asian economies in terms of female representation on boards - and in the workforce generally. Women account for just five per cent of seats on boards in India - less than the Asian average and well behind China, Singapore and Hong Kong. “There’s evidence from around the world to show how firms can benefit from female participation in the workforce - including better insights into consumer buying patterns, and more effective innovation, collaboration and ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking...businesses with the highest proportion of women on their executive performed better in terms of return on equity and earnings margins,” the survey said.

(The Hindu Business Line, 08.05.2013) 69% of Indians Looking to Upgrade Skills - A large chunk of the workforce in the emerging markets of Asia-Pacific is looking at skill enhancement and career development when compared to their global peers, says a recent study conducted by a global recruitment firm. As many as 69% of Indian employees are either actively seeking or considering further education or training, significantly higher than in Europe and the Americas, according to findings of a survey conducted by Kelly Services. Two-thirds of respondents in Asia-Pacific said their main motivation for undertaking training is to enhance their chances of promotion with their current employer, rather than leaving the organization to work with a different employer or start their own business. As many as 59% employees surveyed in Europe and 55% in the Americas said they were exploring further skill development. The survey was conducted among 1,20,000 respondents across 31 countries in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa and the APAC regions. In India, employees from the IT sector along with engineering and healthcare industries were the ones who opted for upskilling the most. Experts said that today's workforce is more aspirational and ambitious while wanting to explore opportunities in a whole new industry. "It is a big challenge to stay employable and attractive in the job market. Also, with changing dynamics and the emergence of newer technologies, people are forced to unlearn the old and learn new things. For instance, someone who wants to make a career in emerging technologies like Big data or analytics might take up a crash course in statistics," said Ankita Vashistha, MD at Tholons Global Institute, a skilling/re-skilling outfit.

(The Times of India, 11.05.2013) Finmin Approves 8.5% Interest on PF Deposits - The Finance Ministry has approved payment of 8.5% interest rate for 2012-13 with immediate effect, up from 8.25% in the previous fiscal, benefiting over 5 crore EPFO subscribers. EPFO’s Central Provident Fund commissioner Anil Swarup said the notification “will enable EPFO to settle claims at 8.5% and also credit interest into the accounts of subscribers for 2012-13.” The Employees Provident Fund Organisation's (EPFO) apex decision making body, the Central Board of Trustee (CBT), on February 25 had decided to pay 8.5% rate of interest to subscribers for 2012-13. The CBT's decision on interest rate is required to be notified by the Finance Ministry. Only after notification, the interest is credited into the accounts of subscribers. As per the norms, EPFO is expected to announce rate of interest on PF deposits before the beginning of a financial year. However, for the past few years, there has been delay in announcement of the rates. This time,


688

the rate of interest is being notified after the end of the financial year. In the absence of the notification, the claims are settled at the interest rate approved for the previous fiscal and subscribers can claim the differential after the notification of rates by the Finance Ministry.

(The Financial Express, 16.05.2013) Demands of Unions under Study, Says PM - Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that some of the demands raised by the various central trade unions, for which they organised a nationwide general strike for two days in February, were in advanced stage of consideration of the government. Those demands include universal social security cover for workers in both organised and unorganised sectors and the creation of a National Social Security Fund, fixing a National Floor Level Minimum Wage (NFLMW) and provision of a minimum pension of Rs. 1000 a month under the Employees Pension Scheme. “The Cabinet has already approved amendments to the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 to provide for a statutory NFLMW,” Dr. Singh said, inaugurating the 45th session of the Indian Labour Conference. The trade unions focused on a number of issues relating to the welfare not only of the working classes but also people at large. These include demands on which there could be no disagreement. “Demands for concrete measures for containing inflation, for generation of employment opportunities, for strict implementation of labour laws, are unexceptionable.” Dr. Singh claimed that the government had created 20 million additional jobs during 2004-05 and 2009-10. The unemployment rate came down from 8.3 per cent to 6.6 per cent in the same period. Employment in the organised sector registered a growth of more than 9 per cent from 26.5 million in 2005 to 29 million in 2011. Women employed in the organised sector had also registered a growth of about 19 per cent in the same period. Labour and Employment Minister Mallikarjun Kharge said there was a significant reduction in the number of child labour in the country in the last five years. “This is primarily due to effective legislations like [the] Right to Education and MGNREGA [Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act],” he said.

(The Hindu, 18.05.2013) NREGA Useful for Marginal Farmers - Though the CAG has pointed to poor performance of MGNREGA, a joint study by the UNDP and Sambodhi, a Delhi-based research organisation, has found the scheme has made a “significant impact” in generating income for small and marginal farmers especially in case of work on land of individual beneficiaries. The study, Impact Assessment of Assets Created on Individual Land under MGNREGA, has pointed to gaps in the planning process and in the monitoring and maintenance of assets. The MGNREGA was extended to works on lands of individual beneficiaries like small and marginal farmers in financial year 2011-12. The study found that 85 per cent of beneficiaries have claimed an improvement in the quality of their land and “a majority of the households noted a 10-15 per cent increase in income” after creation of assets through MGNREGA. Almost 42 per cent of the households on whose land work was undertaken did not come under MGNREGA again. However, one third of those who’ve come back to seek work under MGNREGA indicated they still needed the scheme to augment their income.

(The Indian Express, 20.05.2013) Tripartite Panel to Examine Labour Laws in MSMEs Proposed - A Labour Ministry panel has proposed a tripartite committee to examine all aspects of labour laws affecting the working of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The proposed committee would have representatives of the Central and State Governments, employers’ organisations and trade unions. The recommendations of the panel, headed by H. Singh, Labour Minister of Manipur,


689

have been submitted to the Indian Labour Conference held recently. The recommendations are significant in the backdrop of reports that the MSME Ministry is pushing for labour law exemption for enterprises employing less than 50 workers, as the employers complain of difficulties in complying with ‘multiple laws’. The MSME sector, considered the ‘engine of growth’ in India, employs close to 70 million people in 26 million enterprises. The sector contributes 8 per cent to the country’s GDP. Employers have for long been demanding a separate comprehensive labour law for MSMEs with a threshold limit of workers employed, maintaining a single register and filing simplified returns. However, trade unions at the conference, while admitting that MSMEs need to be promoted, opposed any exemption from labour laws for such units. They said all MSMEs should be made to comply with basic workers' rights such as minimum wages, social security etc. Several studies have pointed out at the dismal working conditions in many MSMEs, especially in garments, textiles, electronics assembly and plastic industry, where a large number of women are employed. The Labour Ministry, while striking a balance, said the proposed committee should work out ways to ensure that employers do not feel harassed and workers, too, were not exploited.

(The Hindu Business Line, 20.05.2013) Industries/Services Declared/Granted Extension as Public Utility Services under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947– As per the information received in the Bureau, the following Industries/Services have been declared Public Utility Services for a period of six months with effect from the date mentioned against them.

Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers(CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 and Agricultural and Rural Labourers on base 1986-87=100 for the month April, 2013

Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers- All-India CPI-IW for April, 2013 rose by 2 point and pegged at 226 (two hundred and twenty six). On 1-month percentage change, it increased by 0.89 per cent between March and April compared with 1.99 per cent between the same two months a year ago. The largest upward contribution to the change in current index came from Food group which increased by 2.08 per cent, contributing 2.07 percentage points to the total change. This was followed by Fuel & Light group with 0.91 percent increase contributing 0.12 percentage points to the change. At item level, largest upward pressure came from Rice, Wheat & Wheat Atta, Arhar Dal, Milk (Cow), Ginger, Root & Green Non-leafy vegetables, Tea Leaf, Tea (Readymade), Snack Saltish, Cigaratte, Electricity Charges, Medicine (Allopathic) etc. However, this was compensated by Mustard Oil and Petrol putting downward pressure on the index. The year-on-year inflation measured by monthly CPI-IW stood at 10.24 per cent for April, 2013 as compared to 11.44 per cent for the previous month and 10.22 per cent during the corresponding month of the previous year.

Haryana with 779 points topped the index table whereas Himachal Pradesh with the index level of 587 points stood at the bottom. Tamil Nadu State registered the maximum increase of 13 points and 12 points respectively for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers mainly due to increase in the prices of rice, jowar, bajra, ragi, meat goat, onion, tamarind, vegetable & fruits, tea readmade, bidi, tobacco leaf, firewood, barber charges and washer man chanrges. On the other hand, Assam and Meghalaya States registered the maximum decline of 2 points each for CPI-AL and CPI-RL due to decrease in the prices of rice, onion, chillies dry, vegetable & fruits, tobacco leaf and pan leaf.

(b) FOREIGN LABOUR

Indian Techies Creating Jobs in US, Says Study - Challenging the assertion of several American lawmakers that H-1B visas grabbed by Indian IT professionals eat into their employment market, a new study by an eminent US think-tank has said that contrary to such perception, Indian techies create jobs in the country. The report by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) said contrary to the popular perception, India-based companies do not use up most of the yearly H-1B allotment. Between fiscal 2006 and 2011, the top 25 India-based companies utilised between six and 15 per cent of the new H-1B visa approved for initial employment, and 19.9 per cent in fiscal 2012. In fiscal 2012, the 26,865 new H-1B visas approved for the top 25 India-based companies equaled only 0.017 per cent of the US labor force. Many of these companies perform services under contract to assist US companies in focusing on core business functions, it said. "Research indicates measures to restrict the use of H-1B visas are not based on sound evidence and would represent a serious policy mistake that would shift more work and resources outside the United States," said the report's author Stuart Anderson, NFAP's executive director.

(The Economic Times, 04.05.2013) Immigration Reform will attract Skilled Entrepreneurs - US President Barack Obama said the ongoing effort to fix the existing " broken immigration system" will not only provide a pathway to earned citizenship for the illegal immigrants, but would also attract the highly- skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help create jobs. In his weekly address to the nation, Obama said the "commonsense immigration reform bill" introduced in the Senate is a compromise, which means that nobody got everything they wanted - including him. "But it's largely consistent with the principles I've laid out from the beginning," he said. "It would continue to strengthen security at our borders and hold employers more accountable if they knowingly hire undocumented workers. It would provide a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million individuals who are already in this country illegally," Obama said. "It would modernise our legal immigration system so that we're able to reunite families and attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help create good paying jobs and grow our economy. These are all commonsense steps that the majority of Americans support. So there's no reason that immigration reform can't become a reality this year," he said in his weekly web and radio address to the nation.

(The Financial Express, 05.05.2013) Euro Zone Slump Drags on, China’s Growth Loses Steam - Business growth flagged in China, recession dragged on euro zone companies, and even US corporate growth slowed in April, according to surveys that bucked a stronger trend in US jobs data. European purchasing managers indexes (PMIs) suggested the euro zone is on course for a worse downturn in the current quarter, with Germany now suffering a contraction in business activity that has long dogged France, Italy and Spain. In China, the poll covering services from banks to hotels showed April’s growth was the weakest since August 2011, while a US PMI put growth at its slowest in nine months. However, US payrolls release has bolstered an overall view of US resilience, in sharp contrast to European data showing the euro zone dogged by recession as its sovereign debtors struggle to control their finances. “Fiscal tightening, unemployment fears and, in some cases, housing wealth losses are clearly still taking their toll on consumer spending intentions,” said Martin van Vliet, senior economist at ING. Markit’s Eurozone Composite PMI, which gauges activity across thousands of companies and is seen as a good gauge of economic conditions, edged up in April to 46.9 from 46.5 in March, marking an improvement on an initial


692

reading of 46.5. But the index has now been below the watershed 50 level that divides growth from contraction for over a year, and April’s reading was far lower than those seen in January and February. Markit, which compiles the PMI, said the survey was broadly consistent with gross domestic product falling at a quarterly rate of 0.4-0.5%.

(The Indian Express, 07.05.2013) Informal, Poorly Paid and Unemployed: The Reality of Work for Most Youth in Developing Countries - Two thirds of working age youth in some developing countries are either unemployed or trapped in low-quality jobs, according to the ILO Global Employment Trends for Youth 2013 report. In six of the ten countries surveyed, over 60 per cent of young people are either unemployed, working but in low quality, irregular, low wage jobs, often in the informal economy, or neither in the labour force nor in education or training. In Liberia, Malawi and Togo, the figure exceeds 70 per cent. The school-to-work transition surveys go beyond regular labour force surveys to look at issues such as non-standard employment and labour underutilization, job quality, job satisfaction and transitions of young people to and within the labour market. The surveys also show that when unemployment counts those who are not actively looking for work, the unemployment rate is much higher than published figures suggest. For example, in Liberia, Malawi, Togo and Peru, the unemployment rate is more than double what published figures show. In some developing economies, unemployment can impact up to one-quarter of the youth population; yet, these young people have no access to social protection. At the same time, those who are employed tend to work in the informal sector and receive low wages. In Cambodia, Liberia, Malawi and Peru, over 80 per cent of youth employment is in the informal economy and two thirds of working youth are poorly paid. "The report is a call-to-action to equip young people with skills that meet the needs of employers," said Reeta Roy, President and CEO of The MasterCard Foundation, which partnered with the ILO in the development of the new Surveys. "The private sector, educators, and governments will need to collaborate to help young people secure stable employment," added Roy.

(ILO News, 08.05.2013) U.S. Jobless Claims Fall to Lowest Level in Almost 5-1/2 Years - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits dropped to its lowest level in nearly 5-1/2 years, signalling labor market resilience in the face of fiscal austerity. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 323,000, the lowest level since January 2008, the Labor Department said. Claims are showing no sign of a pick-up in layoffs even as other parts of the economy such as manufacturing start to show strain from tighter fiscal policy. The four-week moving average for new claims, a better gauge of job market trends, dropped 6,250 to 336,750 – the lowest level since November 2007. Employers added 165,000 new jobs to their payrolls in April and hiring in the previous two months was stronger than initially reported. The unemployment rate dropped to a four-year low of 7.5%. The improvement in employment contrasts sharply with other data, including retail sales and manufacturing, that have suggested a cooling in the economy at the end of the first quarter, which persisted early in the April-June period.

(Financial Post, 09.05.2013) Eurozone Shrinks for 6th Straight Qtr - Eurozone's economy contracted for the sixth straight quarter at the start of this year, marking its longest recession on records dating back to 1995. Falling output across the bloc, from France to Finland, meant the 17-nation economy shrunk 0.2


693

percent in the January to March period, the EU's statistics office Eurostat said. That was slightly worse than the 0.1 percent contraction forecast by economists polled by Reuters and highlighted the devastating impact of the euro zone's debt and banking crisis that has driven unemployment to a record 19 million people. While Germany managed to grow 0.1 percent in the first quarter, the bloc's recession is now longer than the five quarters of contraction that followed the global financial crisis in 2008/2009 and dampens optimism of a quick recovery. The European Central Bank's promise to buy the bonds of struggling governments has removed the threat of a euro zone break-up, but the crisis that began in Greece in 2009 has seeped across the bloc to suck in the wealthy nations such as France. EU leaders are already trying to shift away from the budget cuts that have dominated the response to the debt crisis since 2009 while the ECB cut the cost of borrowing to a new record low of 0.5 percent this month. But the move is likely not to be enough to break a damaging cycle in which governments are cutting back spending, companies are laying off staff and Europeans are buying less.

(The Times of India, 16.05.2013) Talent Shortages a Challenge Globally - Even as the global slowdown has resulted in job cuts, companies are increasingly facing a challenge in raising productivity due to shortage of skilled labour. While talent shortage averages 35% globally, it is as high as 61% in India and 85% in Japan, according to hiring firm Manpower. Employers in India have the most difficulty filling jobs in accounting and finance, IT staff and engineers. As the need for managing financial risks has risen across the globe, the demand for finance and accounting professionals has risen. Also, companies are increasingly looking at ways to cut costs and improve profit margins through better financial planning and management, which has raised the demand for finance professionals. With the internet becoming a ubiquitous part of almost every individual, a lot of business activities have moved online, making it a necessity to have skilled IT staff, says the survey. The survey shows that talent shortage is not just in India, it endemic across the world. It is most acute in Japan where 85% of employers are confronted with talent shortage, followed by Brazil (68%), Turkey and Hong Kong (58% each). Skill shortage is low in Ireland and Spain (3%), South Africa (6%) and the Netherlands (9%). The irony is that despite acknowledging the impact talent shortages have on their business, a staggering 22% of employers are not changing course to identify new ways to address these shortages.

LABOUR DECISIONS

Mere acceptance of compensation under Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 cannot be considered as an exercise of option - In this case, Yalgurdappa B. Goudar employed as a Pump Operator under the Mormugao Port Trust died on the spot, while pillion riding on a motorcycle, when he was hit by a tipper. The aforesaid tipper was insured with the Oriental Insurance Company, i.e., the appellant herein. Consequent upon his death Dayamavva Yalgurdappa the widow, and the dependants of Yalgurdappa B. Goudar, filed a claim petition under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 on 30.5.2003 and sought compensation on account of the motor accident. Meanwhile, the Port Trust addressed a communication dated 4.11.2003 to the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner, Goa intimating him of the motor accident referred to hereinabove and also deposited an amount of Rs.3,26,140/- as compensation payable to the dependants of the deceased under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. Subsequently, on receipt of a notice, the widow of the deceased, appeared before the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner and prayed for the release of the compensation deposited by the Port Trust. Since the claim raised by Dyamavva Yalgurdappa, widow of Yalgurdappa B. Goudar was not contested by the employer, the amount of Rs.3,26,140/-deposited by the Port Trust, was ordered to be mainly released to the Dyamavva Yalgurdappa, widow of Yalgurdappa B. Goudar, and partly to the daughter of the deceased. Besides the compensation determined under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, the claim raised by Dyamavva Yalgurdappa under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 was independently determined by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bagalkot which awarded the claimants compensation of Rs.11,44,440/-. Out of the aforesaid compensation, the Tribunal, however, ordered a deduction of Rs.3,26,140/-, (i.e., the amount which had been disbursed to the claimants by the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner, vide order dated 29.4.2004). The order passed by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bagalkot, dated 15.7.2008 was assailed by the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd, i.e., the appellant herein, before the High Court of Karnataka Circuit Bench at Dharwad. The High Court affirmed the compensation awarded to the claimants by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Bagalkot. Hence the present appeal. The challenge raised by the appellant-Insurance Company was based on Section 167 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which says that any person gives rise to a claim for compensation under this Act and also under the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, the person entitled to compensation under either of those Acts but not under both. It was pointed out, that the claimants having accepted compensation under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, were precluded by Section 167 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, to seek compensation (on account of the same accident), under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Having perused the provisions of the W.C. Act and determined their effect, the apex court said that the Port Trust had initiated proceedings for paying compensation to the dependants of the deceased “suo motu” under Section 8 of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 and as such it couldn’t be considered as an exercise of option by the dependants/claimants to seek compensation under the provisions of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. However, in the instant case the dependent of deceased employee had first filed claim petition under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 on 30.5.2003. The compensation deposited by the Port Trust with the Workmen’s Compensation Commissioner for payment to the respondents-claimants was much later, on 4.11.2003 and that too “suo motu”. In the aforesaid view of the matter, the apex court affirmed the determination rendered by the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Bagalkot, and the High Court in awarding compensation quantified at Rs.11,44,440/- to the claimant. The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal, Bagalkot, as also, the High Court, ordered a deduction therefrom of a sum of Rs.3,26,140/- (paid to the claimants under the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923). The said deduction gives full effect to Section 167 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, inasmuch as, it awards compensation to the respondents-claimants under the enactment based on the option first exercised, and also ensures that, the respondents-claimants are not allowed dual benefit under the two enactments. For the reasons recorded hereinabove, the apex court found no merit in the instant appeal. The instant appeal was accordingly dismissed.

SECTION A MONTHLY STATISTICS

N o t e s 1. Prices and Price Indices 1. 1. Industrial Workers Consumer Price Index 1. 1. Industrial Workers Consumer Price Index A.1.1.1. Labour Bureau’s Series of All India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers (Base: 2001=100) – The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers on Base : 2001=100 General and Group-wise along with Linking Factors with previous base: 1982=100 are presented in Table A.1.1.1. The All India Index is a weighted average of 78 constituent centre Indices compiled by the Labour Bureau. The current series of the Index Numbers has been introduced with effect from January, 2006 index replacing the series on base: 1982=100. The All India General Index as well as Group Indices for previous series on base:1982=100 can be obtained by multiplying the current series indices by the respective Linking Factors. A note on the scope and methods of construction of these index numbers was published in April 2006 issue of the “Indian Labour Journal”. The All India Consumer Price Index Number for the month of April, 2013 increased by 2 point and stood at 226. A.1.1.2. Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers in respect of 78 constituent centres on Base: 2001=100 – The Consumer Price Index Numbers for industrial workers on Base: 2001=100 for 78 centres compiled by the Labour Bureau are presented group wise in Table A.1.1.2 for the months of March, 2013 and April, 2013.

The Index Numbers measure the extent to which the overall levels of retail prices of goods and services consumed by Industrial Workers has changed when compared with the base period viz., 2001=100. As compared to the previous month the magnitude of rise/fall in the General Index varies from centre to centre. During April, 2013, the index recorded an increase of 13 points in Mysore centre followed by Giridih, Bengluru Puducherry (8 points each) and Darjeeling (7 Points). Among others, 6 centres have recorded rise of 6 points followed by 5 points in 2 centres, 4 points in 7 centres and 3 points in 15 centres and 2 point in 17centres and 1 point in 13 centres. Godavarikhani centre reported a decline of 4 points, 2 points in 4 centres and 1 point in 1 centre. The remaining 7 centres’ indices remained stationary.

A 1.1.3. Average Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Industrial Workers – The average monthly consumer prices of selected articles based on individual quotations obtained from the selected outlets which are utilised in the compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 2001=100) for Industrial Workers for 78 centres for the month of April., 2013 are set out in Table A.1.1.3. The prices reported in the table are averages of open markets prices of specified varieties of an item prevailing in the selected outlets in the selected market(s) in a given centre during the month in case of non-rationed items. So far as rationed items are concerned, the prices for the centres covered under informal rationing are the weighted average prices, the weights being the proportion of the quantity available through Public Distribution System and quantity procured from the open market in different centres in relation to base year requirements of an average family. In case of centres covered under Statutory Rationing the prices are average of the fair prices of variety (ies) of an item distributed through Fair Price Shops. 1.2 Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers: A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 - All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 replacing the earlier series on base 1960-61=100 were released with effect from November, 1995. The all-India index is a weighted average of 20 constituent State indices compiled by the Labour Bureau for Agricultural and Rural Labourers separately. A detailed note on the scope and method of construction of these indices was published in February, 1996 issue of the Indian Labour Journal.

The Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for 20 States and All-India are presented group-wise in Tables A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) for the months of March, 2013 and April, 2013. These index numbers measure the extent of change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by Agricultural and Rural Labourers as compared with the base period viz., 1986-87. The All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural Labourers and Rural Labourers on base 1986-87=100 for April, 2013 increased by 7 points and 6 points respectively to stand at 711 (Seven hundred and eleven ) points. A.1.2.2 (a) and (b) Monthly Consumer Prices of Selected Articles for Agricultural and Rural Labourers – The monthly consumer prices of selected articles of index basket of agricultural and rural labourers utilised in the compilation of Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for 20 States separately for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for the month of April, 2013 are given in Tables A.1.2.2. (a) and (b). Though the spatial coverage and the individual sample village price quotations in both the series relating to the Agricultural and Rural Labourers are the same, the weighted prices of items at the State level will be slightly different from each other due to difference in the regional weights in each of the series. 2 Wages and Earnings A.2.1 (a) and (b) Average Daily Wage Rates for Agricultural and Non-agricultural Occupations - As a part of Rural Labour Enquiry, daily wage rates in respect of eighteen agricultural and non-agricultural occupations from a fixed set of 600 sample villages spread over 66 N.S.S. regions in 20 States are being collected alongwith rural retail price data in Schedule 3.01 (R) by the Field Operations Division of the National Sample Survey Organisation since 1986-87. On the recommendations of the Governing Council of the National Sample Survey Organisation in its 61st meeting, Labour Bureau started the compilation and analysis of Wage Rate Data w.e.f. April, 1998. State-wise and all-India average daily wage rates by occupation and sex for the month of April,2013 have been presented in Table A.2.1 (a) for agricultural occupations and Table A.2.1 (b) for non- agricultural occupations. The average wage rates at all-India level are derived by dividing the sum total of wages of all the 20 States by the number of quotations. State-wise averages have been restricted only to those occupations where the number of quotations are five or more in order to avoid inconsistency in wages paid to different categories of workers on account of difference in number of quotations. However, for working out all-India averages all the quotations have been taken into account to arrive at total number of quotations at all-India level. At all-India level also, the number of quotations for working out occupation-wise averages have been restricted to five or more. . 3 Industrial Dispute A.3.1 Sector / Sphere-wise Number of Disputes, Workers Involved and Mandays Lost due to Industrial Disputes during January to April, 2013 – These statistics are received in the Bureau from the State Labour Departments and Regional Labour Commissioners (Central) in the prescribed format in the shape of monthly voluntary returns covering State and Central Spheres separately. Information on Strikes and Lockouts is collected by the concerned authorities and sent to the Bureau every month.

Industrial Disputes (All Strikes and Lockouts) during January to April, 2013- State-wise scenario of Industrial Disputes during January to April, 2013 is presented in Table A.3.2. NOTES -1. Labour Bureau takes every care to ensure correctness of the information presented in Sections A and B of the Journal. However, any error, if noticed, may kindly be brought to the notice of the Labour Bureau. 2. The indices given in Sections A and B measure the relative change in Consumer

Prices over time at each Centre and as such these cannot be used for comparison of costliness among the different Centres.

workers employed in industries and to ensure a speedy and effective remedy to them against

illegal deductions and/or unjustified delay caused in paying wages to them. The wage ceiling

under Payment of Wages Act, 1936 was fixed at Rs 1600/- p.m. in 1982. With a view to

enhance the wage ceiling to Rs 6500/-p.m. for applicability of the Act, to empower the Central

Government to further increase the ceiling in future by way of notification and to enhance the

penal provisions etc. the Payment of Wages (Amendment) Act,2005, which was passed by both

Houses of Parliament, has been notified on 6.9.2005 as an Act 41 of 2005 by the Ministry of

published by National Sample Survey Organisation, has enhanced the wage ceiling, further, to

Rs 10,000/- per month vide gazette notification No.S.O.1380(E) dated 8th August, 2007.
