Minimum Wages apply in every state — unlike Professional Tax or LWF there is no "not applicable" state. Rates are also revised roughly every six months (the VDA adjustment) and can differ by zone or area within a state, so always confirm the figure against the current notification for the specific district before relying on it for payroll.
