Airport is not an aviation job :) it is ancillary services. Aviation means the staff and crew members as workers, and ground staff engaged in ticketing are their office staff. The aviation sector pays the service charges to the airport terminal to use their building and runway, including the parking fees of planes to any airport. Even the baggage handling and cleaning of aircraft, and providing food, everything is paid for in the contract.

The employees at the airport or even aircraft maintenance are mostly on a contract basis, and their wages or facilities are dependent on the contractor, not in aviation.

Kindly clarify whether it is on a contract or permanent basis.

If it is contractual, then as per CLC - construction of runways part is considered, and the wages will be provided all over India except Kerala, where the state wage is higher than central.

If it is with airlines, every airline maintains its own CTC, which varies from 9000-14000, and perks will be provided.

In aviation, the State Government is the appropriate authority under the Minimum Wages Act for airlines as well as for contractors of airlines who are mostly engaged in ground handling work. In Maharashtra, the state government has not established any minimum wage requirements for the aviation industry.

Recently, the Central Government added airport loading and unloading to the Central Government's minimum wages for the scheduled employment of loading and unloading. This addition may help determine the wages for airport ground handling staff. However, the Central Government is not the appropriate authority to set minimum wages for airlines or airline contractors. This is in accordance with the definition of the appropriate government under the Minimum Wages Act.

Dear Ssuhr, If the Appropriate Government for Aviation is not the Central Government to set minimum wages for the airline or airline contractors, as claimed by you according to the definition of the appropriate government under the MW Act, then who should the Contractor or Principal Employer approach for obtaining a Registration Certificate or a Contract Labour License? Should they contact the State Government or the Central Government? Kindly provide your response for the academic interest of the Cite HR community. Regards

Appropriate government for the aviation industry under the Minimum Wages Act is the State Govt. However, for the Contract Labour Act, Industrial Disputes Act, Payment of Bonus Act, and Payment of Wages (Air Transport Service) Rules, it is the Central Govt. Therefore, the license/registration under the Contract Labour Act has to be obtained from the Central Govt, i.e., Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), or Regional Labour Commissioner (Central) of the area having jurisdiction over the concerned Airport.

The definition of Appropriate Govt is different under the Minimum Wages Act and the Industrial Disputes Act. Under the Minimum Wages Act, it is only limited to establishments by or under the authority of the central government, Mines and Railways, and corporations established under Central Act. What is by or under the authority of the Central Govt is explained in the Supreme Court judgment of Steel Authority of India where it was decided that though the Steel Authority of India is a public sector company under the Central Govt, the central government is not the appropriate government for Steel Authority of India under the Minimum Wages Act as it is an independent entity registered under the Companies Act, and its board of directors can take appropriate decisions for the company.

It is a common misunderstanding that when we take a license from the Central Govt, automatically the minimum wages fixed by the central government become applicable. So, for any queries on it, feel free to contact me at 9823232333/7020791470. Thanks for your interest in the subject.

Yours sincerely,
Avinash Deshmukh.

The Central Govt is the appropriate government for mining and therefore fixed minimum wages for the mining industry. The said rates are available on the website of the www.clc.gov.in. Recently, the rates were revised from 1st April 2019. The Central Govt revises its VDA from April and October every year.

For the stone crushers that are not within the mining lease area, the appropriate government under the Minimum Wages Act is the State Govt. For the minimum wages for such crushers, you have to refer to the minimum wages of the concerned states in which such crushers are installed.
