India is among the primary agricultural nations to offer a minimum compensation strategy. Likewise, the “Minimum Wages Act, 1948” comprises a significant piece of work enactment that fixes the system for the suitable governments to affix least wages in various planned jobs. In the course of the 75 years, the minimum compensation framework in India has broadened its inclusion, fusing distinctive planned businesses/foundations across states. The level of intricacy found in the framework mirrors the financial, social and topographical variety of the nation and the strategy reaction to significant changes in the social and monetary setting. Lately, the discussion has zeroed in on the disentanglement of one framework and a plan to possess a public the slightest compensation to sermon the presence of wide pay differences in monetary turn of events and huge varieties in typical cost for basic items among locales and states. A significant drive took place the presentation of the “Code on Wages Bill” in the Parliament by 2017, which endeavored to rearrange and subsume subsequent Acts and furthermore put forwarded the presentation of a limiting “National Minimum Wage”.

The study examines impact of minimum wages on employment outcomes in India. The whole observational writing on the India’s minimum compensation isn't enormous, and the fragment zeroed in on wages and business involves a couple of investigations. The act reports that base wages bring about higher wages. Nonetheless, this happens not close to the lower part of the pay conveyance, as will be normal from a pay level, yet close to the center of the dispersion. These recommend a beacon impact; a minimum compensation that is optimistic, going about as a criterion to those different wages are looked at, as opposed to a story. The main genuinely critical, adverse consequence on business that is accounted for will be for kid work. Different appraisals are either not genuinely critical or are positive. There is need of several studies for looking into each and every aspect of minimum wage act and their implementation in the Indian economy which will address drudgery of millions of labourers in the country.
