Understanding the Minimum Wages Act: What Are the Current Rates for Shops and Establishments?

Hi! Can anyone brief me about the Minimum Wages Act for Shop & Establishment? What are the prevailing minimum wage rates for shops and establishments?

Dear Bhavna,

You need to specify for which state you require the prevailing minimum wages. The same applies to the Shops and Establishment Act as a whole, as these regulations vary according to different states.

Dear Friend,

The Minimum Wages Act 1948 ensures the fixing of minimum wages in certain employments. The Act has been amended by the following states for local application: Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.

Practical application:

1. You can collect the Minimum Wages Notification from the concerned Labour Department of the State.
2. If your appropriate Government is the Central Government, you can collect it from the Regional Labour Commissioner (C) / ALC (C) / LEO (C).
3. In compliance with the provisions under the Contract Labour Act, you have to notify the same with intimation to the Labor Authority.
4. Compare the rates of both Central and State Notifications and ensure payment to workers based on the higher rate.

If you need any further information, you can email me at scm04866@gail.co.in.

Dear Sashmita,

I require the minimum wage rates for Maharashtra, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Goa. I have searched on the net but I didn't find the current rates. Could you please help me in getting the same.

Dear Friend,

You can also obtain it from Law Book Sellers. Please tell me which state you belong to so I can provide you with a reference to the relevant agency where you can obtain the Minimum wages information. It may be available online. You may not have the latest information as government departments are known for not updating it on time.
