Hi,
According to Andra pradesh Minimum wages Act
For Engineers Basic Wage=10322+128(Points increased)so each point rate-12 Rs .15 Ps
So minimum wage you can provide them=11877 /-

Dear Mr. Ravi
If we offer between 7k to 8k?

Hi
According to Minimum wages Act you can't offer below than that.

Please check the notification of minimum wages notified in your state.
The minimum wages is changed every 6 months.
The min wages are notified for skilled, semi skilled, unskilled categories, separately for each industry.
Rs. 11,000 sounds high. please check with the latest notification.

what if MCA or Graduates are paid less than preset Govt Minimum wages by check , if that a violation of minimum wages law ? and if cash ?
this is absurd these freshers are available for less than 8000 Rs as they need their first break and dont add much value to the job . why a firm is forced to hire them at a higher salary ?
Thanks

Its very simple
The minimum wages act was made to prevent firms like yours from exploiting the employees / workers.
just because they need experience, does not mean you will pay them below subsistance levels.
If they are not adding anything to your job, then why hire them ?
In any case, there is no option but to pay the minimum wages, and preferable by cheque. If you pay by cash and the employee claims you have not paid it, then you have a big problem on your hands.
