Is BPO call centers also covered under Maharashtra Govt Special Allowance benefit which is issued from 01/07/2013 to 31/12/2013? If yes, then under which category will it come? Please suggest.

Hi,

BPO falls under the Bombay Shop and Establishment Act, as BPOs are business units that are not listed in any specific category. Therefore, it is an establishment that is registered under the said act.

Your query seems to be whether BPOs are covered under the Minimum Wages Act under which the State Government notifies minimum wages specifying basic and special allowances every six months. Yes, BPOs are covered since it is an establishment covered under the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act. It is essential to ensure that wages paid to different categories of employees in a BPO are in accordance with the Minimum Wages Act.
