Dear friend,
I think the Central Govt Organization would have registered itself as Principal Employer under the CLRA Act, 1970 with the Registering Authority appointed by the Central Govt.
Therefore, the contract labor should be paid their wages at the rates of minimum wages fixed by the Central Govt only.

I do agree with you Mr.Kumar but what I have indicated is the legal position only. Besides, in the particular contract, the Central Government undertaking would have approved the contract based on the Central minimum wage rates only. Yet I very faintly remember that certain Central Govt Undertaking probably BSNL(?) have standing instructions to adopt whichever higher rate in such disparity between Central and State minimum wages for the same employment.

The term Äppr0priate Government is defined in the Minimum Wages Act 1948 and it reads as follows:
Section 2 (b) “appropriate Government” means -
(i) in relation to any scheduled employment carried on by or under the authority of the Central Government or a railway administration or in relation to a mine, oil field or major port, or any corporation established by a Central Act, the Central Government; and
(ii) in relation to any other scheduled employment the State Government;
So as regards any private organisation the Central Govt. notification would apply only in cases of mine, oil field or major port . In all others it will be the State Govt. notified rates that will be applicable.
