Salary for a live in help

Hi Jcaine,

Not very well aware on this but will through some light,  In India mostly people (Indians) get there house maids from villages who will stay with them on all days including weekends, going only for 15-20 days to there village once a year and at times on festivals.  This maids are usually paid in a price bracket of 7-15 thousand taking into consideration all cities / Metros. 

Since maid is needed only for half day that too only on week days I don't think you need to pay more than 13000Rs.

Regards
Faiyaz.
