I am sorry that every expert has advised without knowing the correct position. Applicability of Minimum Wages Act on NGO will depend on its nature and activities performed by it. In case, the NGO performed activities, which falls within the ambit od Scheduled employment as described in Minimum Wages Act, the act will apply otherwise not.

So far as other labour Acts are concerned. The applicability will depend on the basis of activities performed by the NGO and definition of establishment under that particular Act.
