What India counts as pay, and over what period
- ILOSTAT publishes Mean monthly earnings by occupation (ISCO-08) for 2025.
- ILO-harmonised national survey data, reported for ISCO-08 occupation groups. Covers employees only — a minority of India's workforce, most of which is self-employed or informal.
- Rows are used exactly as released. Where the agency suppressed an estimate for sample-size reasons, the cell stays empty rather than being filled with a near-enough figure.
- Every wage on these pages is also read a second way — converted at the exchange rate and adjusted for India's own price level — because a INR figure means nothing to a reader outside India until it is.
annual (INR) = as published by IND adjusted (US$) = annual / PPP(IND)

What people ask next
- Where does India salary data on this site come from?
- ILOSTAT, Mean monthly earnings by occupation (ISCO-08), reference period 2025. It is published openly and used here unmodified — no self-reported salaries and no modelling.
- How many occupations does India publish pay for?
- 9. That is a small number by international standards, and it is a fact about what the agency releases rather than about this site — so the other dimensions it does publish are given their own pages.
