Amid reports that India has revised the minimum wage requirements for its workers in the UAE, Indian mission in the country today said no such revision was made.
"We had last revised minimum wages for various categories of Indian workers employed in the UAE on March 15, 2011," Indian Ambassador to the UAE T P Seetharam was quoted as saying in local media.
A news report had earlier said India was seeking a revision in the wages of millions of Indians working in Gulf nations.
Seetharam said no revision in the minimum wages of Indian workers in the UAE was made in the recent past.
As per the documents available on the embassy website, minimum wages prescribed for the unskilled and skilled Indian workers ranged from Dirhams 800 per month for cleaners to Dirhams 1400 per month for heavy duty operators.
