Dear All,
Request for guidance regarding the following scenario: The employee is based in Mumbai, but their PF is being paid in Uttarakhand as it is registered there. In this case, which state's minimum wages will be applicable for the Mumbai employee/staff?

Dear Sumita ji,
The minimum rate of wages would be applicable as per the place of working/posting of employment and not as per the registration of the company or the registration of the establishment under various statuses.
Thank you.
