Hi Ajay,
The wage structure for your workmen in Arunachal Pradesh would depend on the nature of your organization and the specifics of your project.
In India, both the Central and State governments have the power to enforce wage laws. The Central government's regulations apply to specific industries like railways, mines, oil fields, etc., and to union territories. The State government's regulations apply to other industries in the state.
As your project is in Arunachal Pradesh, if it doesn't fall under the specific industries regulated by the Central government, the state's minimum wage laws would apply.
However, if your organization is a Central government undertaking, then Central wage laws would apply, regardless of the location of the project. Since NHPC is a Central government enterprise, if you are a contractor under NHPC, then the Central wages might apply.
To be absolutely sure, I would recommend consulting with a legal expert or the HR department of NHPC. They should be able to provide a definitive answer based on the specifics of your project and contract.
Remember, non-compliance with wage laws can lead to legal complications, so it's crucial to get this right.
I hope this helps!

Hello Ajay,
The wages for construction workers in Arunachal Pradesh could be subject to both central and state laws. As per the Contract Labour Act, 1970, if a central government organization like NHPC is the principal employer, then central rates would apply.
However, there might be certain situations where the state government's wage rates could be enforced if they are higher than the central rates. Therefore, it's important to check both. You can refer to the https://clc.gov.in/clc/acts-rules for the central laws and https://arunachalipr.gov.in/?p=180 for the state laws.
To ensure compliance:
1. Identify the type of work your laborers will be doing, as wages can differ based on the type of work.
2. Check the minimum wages set by the central government for that type of work.
3. Check the minimum wages set by the Arunachal Pradesh government for the same type of work.
4. Apply the higher of the two rates to your workers' wages.
Remember, failing to pay the correct wages can result in penalties under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936.
Furthermore, if you're engaging contract labor under a subcontractor's role, ensure that the subcontractor is also aware of these wage laws. Their non-compliance could have implications for you as well.
Hope this helps in providing clarity on how to proceed with your project.
