What the law says

There is a legal minimum wage for domestic work here.

Domestic work is a scheduled employment in this state, so a notified rate applies and paying below it is unlawful.

Police verification

Two separate things exist and they are often confused. (1) Telangana Police's i-Verify portal at pvc.tspolice.gov.in issues Police Verification Certificates and Police Clearance Certificates online, with online fee payment replacing the old treasury challan and online status tracking. It was launched in April 2021 and is aimed at government and PSU employee verification and at individuals going abroad for study, work or immigration; domestic-help employers are not named as an eligible category. (2) For domestic staff specifically, Hyderabad-area commissionerates run enrolment drives. The Malkajgiri Police Commissionerate launched 'Mee Suraksha' on 16 May 2026 across roughly 550 colonies, gated communities and apartment complexes, collecting details of domestic helpers, cooks, drivers, servants, maids, caretakers, watchmen and other support staff digitally through the Hawkeye Ultra app and Google self-registration forms, with police teams also enrolling on site in coordination with resident welfare associations. Commissioner B Sumathi described it as a 20-day campaign and 'urged residents to cooperate'. Reporting describes it as voluntary. In its first weeks 18,413 people were registered (Malkajgiri 8,771, Uppal 4,837, LB Nagar 4,805).

Worth knowing

• Hyderabad is the weakest city in this dataset for wage data. No Hyderabad-specific rate from any credible source could be found - not a survey, not a news report, not even a platform pricing page. Rather than publish numbers borrowed from Bengaluru or Mumbai, this dataset returns none. Anyone shipping wage guidance for Hyderabad should commission or source it locally first.
• Telangana has no domestic workers welfare board. That is precisely what unions were demanding in June 2026, alongside registration of workers, employers and placement agencies, ESI and PF inclusion and minimum wage enforcement, on behalf of an estimated 11 lakh domestic workers in the state.
• The 'Mee Suraksha' drive is a police crime-prevention database, not a worker-protection measure: reporting frames it as a response to crimes involving domestic helpers. A household participating in it should be clear that registering someone gives the worker nothing in return. The corresponding thing that does benefit the worker - free e-Shram registration, which is the gateway to unorganised-sector welfare schemes - costs nothing and is worth doing at the same time.
• Mee Suraksha registration data included 975 Nepali nationals among 18,413 registrations in the Malkajgiri area. Migrant domestic workers, including cross-border migrants, are among the most vulnerable to document confiscation and confinement. Holding a worker's passport, Aadhaar or other original documents, or restricting her ability to leave the house, is not a security precaution - it is the mechanism of forced labour, and it is unlawful.
• Because Telangana does have domestic work in its schedule of employments, a Hyderabad employer is in principle bound by a notified minimum wage, unlike an employer in Mumbai, Pune or Delhi. Until the current notified figure is confirmed, the defensible course is to pay at least the pro-rated equivalent of Telangana's general unskilled minimum wage, reported at about INR 16,000 a month Zone I from 1 June 2026.
• Check the society's gate rules before signing a lease. Hyderabad gated communities in the Malkajgiri, Uppal and LB Nagar zones have been actively enrolling staff through resident welfare associations, and some societies make app registration a condition of entry for daily help.
