An additional Rs 55 has been proposed as rent allowance for workers in urban India.
The committee has also recommended reviewing the consumption basket every five years. It subject to the availability of NSSO-CES data, and – within the period of 5 years – revising and updating the basic minimum wage at least in line with the consumer price index (CPI) every six months, to reflect changes in the cost of living. The ministry of labour and employment had constituted the committee under the chairmanship of Anoop Satpathy, the fellow of the VV Giri National Labour Institute, in January 2017 to review and recommend ways to calculate the national minimum wage.

India announced that it had decided to withdraw the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status granted to Pakistan and would also take all possible steps to isolate the country at the international level after the car bomb attack in the Kashmir Valley. According to the MFN principle of the WTO’s General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) — to which India is a signatory/contracting party — each of the WTO member countries should “treat all the other members equally as ‘most-favoured’ trading partners.”
The MFN status was accorded to Pakistan in 1996 as per India’s commitments as a WTO member. The WTO says, “Grant someone special favour (such as a lower customs duty rate) and you have to do the same for all other WTO members.” Hence, though MFN sounds like special treatment, in effect it means non-discrimination.
