Correct Answer: 1948


Solution : The correct option is 1948.

In 1948, India passed the Minimum Wages Act. On March 15, 1948, it came into effect. By fixing and updating the rates of wages that may be used, this legislation aims to protect the interests of labourers or workers who are involved in particular employment and to stop exploitation or dishonest practices. The act grants the authority to determine and amend the minimum rates of wages payable to various worker categories and for various scheduled employments to the relevant government (central or state).
