I am not sure whether you've registered your centralized kitchens under the respective State's Shops & Establishments Act. If so, you have to pay the minimum rates fixed by the respective state.
Thank you.

If an organization is registered with the Shop and Establishment Act of the respective state, then the wages to be paid to its labor should be according to the wages fixed by the respective state from time to time.

With due respect to Mr. Umakanthan, I would like to differ. Since the NGO operates across many states, the appropriate government for them is the Central government. Hence, they must pay wages as notified by the central government but, of course, subject to the rates of the respective states, whichever is higher.
