Minimum Wage Confusion at Assam Hydro Power Station: How Do Contractor Rules Apply?

For a hydro power station in Assam, what is the minimum wage for skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled workers? As understood, the minimum wages prescribed are for scheduled employments. Therefore, it is essential to determine whether the same regulations apply in this particular case. If the standard minimum wages are not applicable, what are the specific minimum wages that should be considered for this scenario?

If no minimum wage has been fixed for your industry or if your industry is not a scheduled employment under the Minimum Wages Rules of Assam, you are still supposed to follow minimum wages. Therefore, if minimum wages are not fixed for any employment, the least minimum wages of the scheduled employment for which minimum wages have been set will be applicable. For the rates of minimum wages, please refer to the notification of Assam regarding this matter.
