Dear Sir,
Maharashtra government issued a document regarding minimum wages act to be applicable to the daily wages labour working in a specific type of work and in a specific factories like bidi factory, construction companies, etc. What rate should be made applicable to the educational institutes which is not mentioned in the act like educational institutes.Further the work content varries from sweepig to construction activity of very low level. Is it correct to say that the act is not applicable to these institutes as nothing is mentioned in the act and can form its own rules and decide the minimum wages to be paid to them.

See the notification of schedule employment issued by the State of Maharastra whether educational institutions are in the list of scheduled employment or not. In case, it is in the list, you can obtained the same from any local office of the Labour department of State or from Maharastra Labour Department's website.
