Dear Sudha,
Yes...you have to comply with the enactment of Minimum Wages and you have to pay salary to your employees (employed directly or through a contractor) equal to /above the amount mentioned in the latest notification.
Now,this categorization of "Shop & Establishment" shall be very wide in case of Maharashtha since there happens to be lot of sub categories under this.So first of all you need to find out as to what schedule of employment applies to your employees as per the business type your organization is into and to what skill sets they are employed respectively as unskilled/semi skilled/skilled.You have to revise the pay as applicable whenever there comes any modifications in the MW notification.
Its simple...Normally the MW is revised in a span of 6 months.so collect the copy of the latest notification for the scheduled employment with your organization in such span (the tenure for which the present notification shall be applicable is mentioned on the document itself) and regulate the pay structure accordingly.
Now for Maharastha the amount of MW should not be less than the amount of Basic + Spl Allowance as shall be mentioned in the notification.

Dear Arnab,
Thanks for your guidance. but the business my company is into, is not mentioned anywhere in the schedule of employment mentioned on S&E act. My company is engaged in marine Geotechnical/geophysical surveys and offshore construction having project sites in different location of India & overseas, head office at Thane Maharashtra. we have all kinks of employees Highly skilled, skilled, semi skilled and unskilled working with us. Also in S&E act the clause of Minimum wage is not mentioned anywhere. Some of the management people have the difference of opinion that as it is not mentioned anywhere in S&E act, we should not be covered under MW act. please advice. It would be great if you can provide me with some supporting documents to prove my opinion.

Dear Sudha,
Even if the clause of MW is no where stated in S&E,still the employees employed in establishment has to be paid gross salary on and above MW for the concerned state.Refer to the copy of MW Act for this.
Now as you have mentioned,my suggestion shall be as follows:
I. For your Corporate/branch offices,the provision of S&E to be adhered to in terms of MW and all other HR policies.
II. For your employees at project site,plz follow the MW for "Constructions" as applicable for concerned state.
