What is the difference between Service contract and Works Contract?
When the repairs and maintenance of machines and equipments other than that covered under an Annual Maintenance Contract or AMC which is outside the purview of CLRA Act, is carried out by a section of employees deployed for the purpose, the rate of wages as applicable to that kind of work/ job will be payable.
Other than the above what is works contract? Is it that workers are deployed to perform the work/ core activities of the establishment, say, production? If so, first of all let me say that such engagement is illegal and will attract complications in future.
You can have different wage rates for different kinds of employment within the same organisation provided the skills required are also different. That cannot be questioned. The Minimum Wages Act also provides for different wages for different categories of employment under the same scheduled employment.

Dear Colleague,
The definition of Appropriate Government is a good term to be analyzed. As far as any scheduled establishment carried on by or under the authority of the Central Government, the appropriate Govt is Central only. In your case of CPSU, the Minimum Wages as stipulated by the Central Government will be appropriate for both types of contracts. More so, hope the licenses for contractors and RC to Principal Employer would have been from Central Labour Authorities only. Hence from Minimum Wages angle, Contract Labour Act angle, Industrial Dispute Act angle, it is right to follow the Central Government Fixed Minimum Wages for the respective scheduled Employment. Within that notification, you may follow different wages for different skill categories depending on the classification given in the notifications based on skill levels as stipulated in the Notifications.
For your reading:
