Please suggest me if we can consider Food and Accommodation in the Minimum Wage Act

Hello Seniors, Please suggest me if we can consider Food and Accommodation in the Minimum Wage Act. For example, if one state has a minimum wage for an unskilled worker of Rs. 12,000/�and we hire a candidate with a monthly salary of Rs. 10,000/�+ Food + Accommodation, is this the correct way? If there is any correction, please suggest it to me.
