The Sindh government has officially raised the minimum monthly wage to Rs. 40,000, with the new rates taking effect from 1 July 2025. The decision has been outlined in a formal notification issued under the Sindh Minimum Wages Act, 2015.

Under the updated rates, semi-skilled workers will now earn a minimum of Rs. 41,380, while skilled workers must be paid at least Rs. 49,628. Highly skilled workers are entitled to a monthly wage of no less than Rs. 51,745.
