Component In Minimum Wages

Dear All,
1) Please let me know, what component we need to take while fulfilling the criteria of Minimum Wages?
Whether Minimum Wages = Basic Wages + Special Allowance + 5% HRA
Or
Minimum Wages = Basic Wages + Special Allowance
2) If Company has its own Appretice/Training Program of 3 year and it want to give 75% of Minimum Wages as Stipend/Training Allowance then What component we need to consider:
Whether 75% of Minimum Wages = Basic Wages + Special Allowance + 5% HRA
Or

Awaiting for you all early reply.

Hi Amit,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
This is applicable to the certain states and also as per Apprenticeship Act.
When the Apprentice Training Module is not as per the Apprenticeship Act and the company is having its own training module for their apprentices i.e. not a standard Turner, Fitter Diesel Mechanics etc. some other industry specific skill/job, then what????
