India not to prescribe minimum wage for its workers abroad
New Delhi: India has no intention to prescribe a minimum wage for Indian workers abroad, Bahrain in particular, a senior official said here on Monday.
The Indian embassy in Bahrain had earlier issued a notification fixing the minimum monthly wage limit for unskilled Indian workers at 100 Bahraini dinars ($266) from March 1. The notification, however, was put on hold pending clarification from New Delhi.
"We will be sending a clarification to the ambassador soon on this subject," G. Gurucharan, joint secretary (financial services) in the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs, told IANS Monday.
He said that India had earlier given the power to Indian ambassadors in various countries to prescribe the minimum wage for women workers between $300 and $350 "based on local conditions".
"The reason that we prescribed the wage limit for women workers was they were not covered under local labour laws," said Gurucharan.
He also clarified that Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi's statement on minimum wages was exclusively for women workers.

Comment 2: Recently it was reported that one in every four homeless people in America was a lollitas and teen girls ! Although our society wants you to think that free Lolitas bbs ( preLolitas ) are people that should be normally out casted from society because of their association with the military and because of their political motive to propagate the idea that these lollitas and teen girls are strange and odd and don't fit into society. This is nothing more than a pathetic agenda to dictate our nations social order through a mutual association! Dont you think so?!
