Dear Mantu
It will not be possible for me to offer a view without seeing
(i) the Government notification on minimum wages referred to in your post.
(ii) the contract entered into between your company and the agency.

Hi Mantu,
First of all you cannot pay the reduced salary for those contract employees who are working with you hence you have to terminate the existing contract and also need to change the contract workers because for your convenience you cannot change the contract and use the same workers for lesser salary.
My suggestion is for a mere of Rs.500/- pm don't try to get in to non compliance matters as it costs a lot for the organization.
Instead do a work study and if possible reduce one / two guards so that your it suits to your manpower cost.
