Confusion about Minimum Wage Rate - came across Two different Wages rate

Urgent!! Need Expert's Guidance.

I was checking Min wage for Maharashtra.
And came across Two different Wages rate. (Like in one, Basic is 10021 and in other it is 7700, & so on.)

Which one to follow? Please check reference.
(Irrespective of year).

The first one is for the shops & establishments registered as per the S&E Act of Maharashtra. The second is the minimum wages notified by the state government as applied to the respective industries in the state. So it would depend on whether you are a shop/establishment or engaged in any of the industries specified in the Schedule.

But sir @KK!HR, though second one is for industries, it mentions 'Hotels and Restaurants', which as per my knowledge , comes under Shop&Establishment. Hence the confusion.
I need MW for my upcoming restaurant/hotel.

When Hotel industry is specifically mentioned in the Minimum Wages notification, then it has to be complied fully, and S&E has to be complied for the other matters therein. These are not alternatives. Safe option is to comply with the higher rate. Umakanthan Sir can throw more light on this.
