Minimum wage (rates) are applicable to private firm which is doing business of Transport?

Dear All,Kindly suggest which minimum wage (rates) are applicable to private firm which is doing business of Transport and having more than 20 workers (including office staff)-we are covered in zone III.

Dear friend,
As per Sec.2(g) of the Motor Transport Workers Act, 1961, a motor transport undertaking is an undertaking engaged in carrying passengers or goods or both by road for hire or reward and includes a private carrier.
Motor transport undertakings are mostly brought under the schedule of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 by many State Governments and minimum rates of wages are fixed and periodically revised for various employment positions therin.
Therefore, please check with the Labour Department Web site of the Government of Maharashtra for the prevailing minimum rates of wages, if any applicable to your region.
