April 1 wage code doubles overtime pay, mandates employer tracking
NewsBytes | April 22, 2026 7:39 PM CST
Basic pay at least half CTC
Your basic pay must be at least one-half of your CTC now, which could mean higher provident fund contributions but possibly a smaller take-home.
Blue-collar workers stand to benefit most from the double-pay rule, while white-collar folks may see less impact unless states roll out these changes.
Also, when you leave a job, all pending wages, including overtime, must be settled right away.
