The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is considering raising the monthly minimum wage ceiling from Rs 15,000 now to improve the coverage and bring millions of informal workers under its purview.
The last increase in the minimum wage ceiling was in 2014 to Rs 15,000 from Rs 6,500.
Labour and Employment Minister Bhupender Yadav said the government is committed to implementing the decision of the Supreme Court on the issue of higher pensions.
