Dear Arcana,

The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 may also apply to Shops & Commercial Establishments if added to the list of scheduled employments by the appropriate Government. As per section 2(g) of the MW Act, "Scheduled Employment" means an employment specified in the schedule, or any process or branch of work forming part of such employment. Therefore, any employer who employs one or more employees in any scheduled employment is liable to pay minimum wages as fixed or declared by the appropriate Government for that employment.

Hi Archana,

For the IT industry, minimum wages are applicable as per the Shops & Commercial Establishment Act. The Shops & Commercial Establishment Act also includes the Minimum Wages Act. The minimum wage varies from state to state. Moreover, it is quite marginal. I believe it should be around 3000 Rs per month. You can refer to the books on your state's Shops & Commercial Establishment Act for the latest minimum wage rates.

Hi Archana!

No, DA is not included in this. I believe you will get the handbook for Minimum wages in bookshops for a particular state. You can refer to that. Else, you can even check on the web. But I believe they would have posted for 2008 and would not have updated for the current year.

Dear Friend Archana!

Kindly refer to the following books state-wise because the Minimum Wages Act of 1948 differs from place to place, industry to industry, and state to state. Below are the names of the books and their respective authors listed by state:

- Rates of Minimum Wages by Mr. R.S. Sharma, C. Sitaraman & Co. Pvt. Ltd. - Tamil Nadu
- The List of Scheduled Employments Minimum Wages Fixed by Mr. Sathpal Puliani, Karnataka Law Journal Publications - Karnataka
- The Law of Minimum Wages by Mr. Padala Rama Reddi & Mr. Padala Srinivasa Reddy, Asia Law House Publications - Andhra Pradesh
- Law of Minimum Wages in Kerala by Mr. C.K. Saji Narayanan, Swamy Law House - Karnataka

Dear Archana,

As per law, IT or other industries are not different, so the same law is applicable for IT. In Maharashtra, the minimum wages (Basic+DA) are around Rs. 4000/-. I am not sure about the exact amount, but there are no different laws for IT.

Dear Friend,

It's simple; minimum wages differ from state to state. There is a Central Minimum wage as well, which is based on the location of your city. Minimum wages are never industry-specific. You need to check this with the State or Central Gazette. For the latest information in states, check with the labor Department in your city.

Dear all,

You can visit your nearest Regional Commissioner of Labour office and inquire about the current minimum wages for shops and establishments. They will provide you with immediate assistance by offering relevant information such as basic wages, VDA or DA points, and the rate per point of increase in index points. The minimum wages include either D.A. or VDA, under the name it is designated. The minimum wage constitutes the basic wage plus D.A.

For up-to-date information on the latest minimum wages applicable for payment, you can seek guidance from the labor officer or refer to the most recent gazette notice issued by your state government concerning the latest index points for the calculation of VDA or DA.
