More than two-thirds of blue-collar employees in India earn less than Rs 15,000 per month, according to a report on Thursday.  The report by payroll management app Salarybox stated that women in the workplace made Rs 12,398 on average, which was 19 per cent less than their male colleagues, which brings forth the country’s wide gender pay disparity. 

The data also highlights that less than 15 per cent of the employee base earns in the range of Rs 20,000-Rs 40,000 per month (on an average Rs 25,000), calling attention to the fact that a vast majority of Indians have difficulties securing even a livable wage.
