This query is : Resolved
Friends,
I have a query as under:
"A Ltd is a company engaged in the business of importing food items and selling all over india having registered in Delhi.
Are the following labour legislations are applicable to A namely:
1. payment of Wages Act 1936
2. Minimum Wages Act, 1948.
As per my analysis, the business of the company is not manufaturing,mining or plantation and the company is registered under Delhi Shops & Establishment Act 1954. Hence both the acts namely Payment of Wahes Act and Minimum Wages Act shall not be applicable to A ltd.
Please let me know your views.
Thanks & regrads

I may draw the attention of the querist to section 2(h) of the Payment of Wages Act as also to item 17 of the Minimum Wages Act. One should keep in mind the powers of the State Governments enjoy in these matters.

A liimited company has to be registered with Registrar of Companies and not Delhi Shops & Establishment Act.
2. Min Wages is applicable in a Ltd. company.
