9.7 per cent salary hike seen in 2019

New Delhi: The salary increment projections across most industries in 2019 would be 9.7 per cent, said a survey on Tuesday.

The 23rd edition of Aon’s annual Salary Increase Survey projected a marginally higher pay hike while showing that India will continue to be a front-runner among the Asian economies in terms of pay raises.

Between 2001 and 2007, the services sector saw higher salary increases. But after 2008-09, the manufacturing sector gained the lead and has consistently given higher increments, the report said.
