As per my understanding of the Minimum Wages Act, the Minimum Wages include Basic, Special allowance, House rent allowance etc. and any other cash equivalent of any foodgrains given to the emolpyees at a subisdised rate. However, DA is not a part of the above and is calculated separately.

Hi Jony,
As per section 2(h) of the Act,
"Wages" means all remuneration, capable of being expressed in terms of money, which would, if the terms of the contract of employment, express or implied, were fulfilled, be payable to a person employed in respect of his employment or of work done in such employment [and includes house rent allowance],
So you can say it includes Basic, HRA and other allowance paid in terms of money but not the traveling allowance.
Regards,
Amit Seth.
