Minimum Wages Act provided foundational, court-backed protections but suffered in implementation.Code on Wages introduced clarity, universality, uniform definitions, a central floor, and stricter enforcement—but critical gaps persist regarding living wage alignment, sectoral inclusion, and gender equality.Practitioners rely on updated commentaries like Taxmann (2025) for navigating statutory text, procedural rules, and case law.Key watchpoints: effective state-level rule notifications; real-time wage rates; enforcement mechanisms (inspections, digital registers); and litigation clarifying new definitions.includes the 26-day wage rule and central/state updates for 2025
