It will depend on multiple factors.
If Company has Office(Co-working or anything), Warehouse or GST, Profession Tax, ESIC registrations in particular state where employee is working then Min Wages of state where employee is working will be applicable.
But if company have GST, Profession Tax, ESIC registrations only in the state where company is based, then Min Wages of the state where company is located will be applicable. But in this case if this is due to Covid scenario Work from home is given then its fine but if it is field job, then ideally you should give the min wages in the state which employee is working.
This will also be defined by Working Location mentioned in Appointment Letter.
Thus, it has multiple factors and to be factored appropriately to mitigate risks
