I work in an agricultural field in Mumbai, what minimum wage and benefits am I entitled to?

Agricultural workers are covered under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and the Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999 agricultural labour rules notified by your state. The state government fixes minimum wages for agricultural operations like ploughing, sowing, and harvesting in Mumbai. The Bombay High Court has held that agricultural workers are entitled to minimum wages and the state must ensure its enforcement through the Labour Department. Some states have enacted separate agricultural labour welfare Acts providing for housing, medical aid, and insurance. You should check the current minimum wage notification with the district Labour Department. Non-payment of minimum wage can be reported to the Labour Commissioner for recovery and prosecution.
