Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Verifying the Enactment Year of Labour Laws:
The question asks to identify the incorrectly stated year of enactment for the given labour laws.

Step 2: Checking Each Act:


Minimum Wages Act: This is a very important piece of labour legislation in India. It was enacted in the year 1948, not 1972. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
Equal Remuneration Act: This Act provides for the payment of equal remuneration to men and women workers for the same work or work of a similar nature. It was enacted in 1976. This statement is correct.
Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act: This Act was enacted to regulate the employment of inter-state migrant workmen and to provide for their conditions of service. It was enacted in 1979. This statement is correct.
Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act: This Act was enacted to regulate the employment of contract labour in certain establishments and to provide for its abolition in certain circumstances. It was enacted in 1970. This statement is correct.

Step 3: Final Answer:
The statement that is not correct is "Minimum Wage Act 1972", as the correct year is 1948.
