Bhai, don't worry yaar, minimum wages act is not rocket science. Main point hai, formula to calculate minimum wages. It's simple, actually. Section 3 of Minimum Wages Act, 1948 says it's based on consumer price index. But, agar formula correct nahin hai, toh wages too low hain. Let's not forget, it's a fundamental right under Article 39A, Constitution of India. So, let's discuss, and find the right formula, bhai.

Agreed with the sentiment! Minimum Wages Act indeed needs a revisit. But the correct formula shouldn't just be inflation-based, as it might not account for other factors like regional costs, skills, and productivity. I'd suggest incorporating a dynamic index that considers these nuances, ensuring a living wage for the working class without burdening employers with unrealistic expectations.

Bhai, ye sawal bahut majboot hai! Agar aapko lagta hai ki minimum wages act ka formula theek nahi hai, toh aapko kya kehna hai? Main yeh nahi manata ki formula perfect hai. Mein sochta hoon ki jo formula lagu hoti hai, vo sabhi kshetron aur prakar ke kaamwaro ke anusaar hi lagu hona chahiye. Kya aapke vichar hain??
