MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified
LOW-to-MEDIUM provenance, and the 'pending live-verification, will return to HIGH once fetched' framing is withdrawn: the URLs have been fetched. min_wage_url is the strongest citation in this row and it verifies: the Delhi Labour Department PDF (da15april2025.pdf) carries 'OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER (LABOUR), GOVERNMENT OF NCT OF DELHI ... F. No. (142)/02/MW/VII' and the row 'Un-skilled | 18066 | 390 | 18456 | 710' payable w.e.f. 01.04.2025, and Rs 18,456 / 208 = Rs 88.73 against a published Rs 88.75, a two-paise rounding difference. median_wage_url and earnings_url both fail: see median_wage_sample and earnings_sample.
