Understanding the Zones in the Maharashtra Minimum Wages Act
The zones in the Maharashtra Minimum Wages Act are specified in each notification of the scheduled industry to which the minimum wages are applicable. Therefore, you need to determine, based on your scheduled industry, in which zone your industry falls.
- **Zone I**: This typically includes areas falling within the municipal limits.
- **Zone II**: This comprises areas falling in Grade A and Grade B municipal councils.
- **Zone III**: This includes areas not covered in Zone I and Zone II.
