How is overtime calculated in India?
Divide monthly wages by the number of days (26 is the common method) and then by 8 hours to get the normal hourly rate. Overtime is paid at twice that rate. For example, ₹30,000 of wages gives ₹144.23 an hour, ₹288.46 for each overtime hour, and ₹2,885 for 10 hours.
The detailed rules are in our guide to overtime laws in India.
