The Minimum Wages Act is applicable for all establishments coming under Shops and Establishments Act. The deduction of PF and ESI contribution of employees may be deducted from such minimum wages and if any employer's contribution is there it shall be in addition to the Minimum Wages. You can go to google search engine for searing the Maharastra state government Minimum Wages Act for getting the rates or can contact your local Labour Welfare officer for getting the same.

Dear
Irrespective of the type of industry or area of employment, the application of minimum wages as per the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, is mandatory all over India. The respective state government through its Gazette notifies the applicable rate of minimum wages every year(Which is available from the local booksellers who sells official forms/stationeries- my attempt to get the updated information from net was not always successful) .
It is classified as per zones, industries & and cadre. You can apply the above classification according to the cadres deployed in your industry/zone .
Applicable rate of PF, ESI , may be recovered/paid from the rate payable to the individuals.
