Various activities were initiated in run up to Republic Day Celebrations 2022 to commemorate Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. The official journey of “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” commenced on 12th March, 2021 starting its 75-week countdown to Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is an embodiment of all that is progressive about India’s socio-cultural, political andĮconomic identity. Thereafter 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and was recognised as the Republic Day of India.Įver since the historic day, January 26 is celebrated with festivities and patriotic fervor all around the country.Īzadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of progressive India and the glorious history of Rajendra Prasad heralded the historic birth of A salute of 21 guns and the unfurling of the Indian National Flag by Dr.
Regarding the justification given by Janardhan( with an element of well-founded doubt, of course), I would like to request him kindly to go through Rule 23 of the Minimum Wages ( Central ) Rules, 1950.Republic Day is celebrated on January 26 every year to remember the day when the Constitution of India came into effect after India gained independenceĪfter a very long freedom struggle.
So, by adding up the 26 days of actual work plus the 4 days of rest, a month recognized to be comprising of 30 days as an economic reality for calculation purpose in the realm of employment. Whether as a matter of religious impact or physical limitation, I don't know, the 7th day after a continuous work for 6 days became a day of rest by convention and by Law as well. Therefore, for the sake of convenience of calculation a month is assumed to have 30 days or 4 weeks( though a week has actually 7 days ). When the employment relationship becomes continuous or permanent, a cosistent level of efficiency is expected from the employee and to maintain it, the wages paid by the employer has to include the day of rest. It may be based on quantity of work done or piece-rate or time taken in terms of hour, day, week,month or year or a combination of quantity and time.It depends upon the nature of work or the nature of employment relationship. So, the number of days a month comprises of is a matter of approximation for calculation purpose.In the field of employment, wage or salary is in general the compensation given to the person employed in consideration of the work done by him. In Tamil Calendar some months have even 32 days. But we know in English Calendar some months have 30 days, some others have 31 days and the month of Feb has 28 or 29 days. When we divide 365 or 366 by 12, we get fractional values only i.e., 30.41 and 30.5 only. We all know well that a year normally comprises of 365 days but a leap year has 366 days. Month is any one of the twelve periods of time into which the year is divided. I sincerely convey that this justification may be invalid and erroneous and would invite seniors to through some light on it. So it is summarized that while paying wages for labour category 26 days should be considered and for worker category it should be considered for 30 days. However in this case we follow S&E Act, while paying daily wages employee is entitled for 1 day wages for working a week in that subsequent month, which means if an employee doesn't go for holiday except sunday he is entitled for complete minimum wages notified by authority.Ģ) But when we calculate for employee wages the same minimum wages is to be considered for 30 days (including with Sunday) and accordingly paid to them. into daily and monthly basic wages which clarifies below things.ġ) To calculating labour wages, we consider monthly wages for 26 days (excluding Sundays) and accordingly paid to them. Apart from this the minimum wages notifications also released across India by the labour and employment dept. If you refer the Indian Legislation's you will come across the discussion on daily wages concept either in Minimum Wages Act or Payment of Wages Act. However I will just try to give you some justification on it. It is really an interesting concept / question for which I am looking answer from long back but I haven’t got the clear and crisp answer.
