Dear Maahiein,
In my opinion unless & until any of the employment is not added in the list of schedule employments under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 by the State Govt.as per section 27 of this Act,the State Govt. is not to fix the minimum rates of wages for employees working in that employment. Once the employment is added in the list of schedule employments then as per section 3 the appropriate Govt.shall fix the minimum rates of wages for employees employed therein.

Dear Maahiein,
If you interested in paying minimum rates of wages to your employees as fixed by the Govt. for employees working with other schedule employments then go ahead accordingly.
