Where can I find informations about Indian labour legislation?

I can not find information on the Indian labour legislation (weekly hour work, minimum wages, labour contract...). I have check with google but nothing. Somebody can help me!!!|||http://www.indiatogether.org/2006/feb/ed鈥?/a>





India's minimum wage law, the Minimum Wages Act of 1948, recognised the argument for minimum protections, but has since fallen significantly behind. The law itself is now nearly 60 years old - a time during which inflation has raised costs several hundred percent - and does not set a specific minimum wage for all provisions, instead leaving it to the states to set occupation-specific wages. But, the states have largely had an anti-poor record in setting minimum wage levels; witness the massive variation in wages across the nation from Rs.25 a day - a ridiculously low figure - to a high of Rs.134, itself still questionable. While some revisions in specific areas have been made apart from this Act, there has been no revision of this law on an all-encompassing scale.
