You can get any price of any article using the Query option.
The prices of many items provided by the Staff side JCM are lower than the retail prices provided by the Government agency . Hence the Minimum wage of Rs 20,000/- is justified for the erstwhile Group "D" with effect from 1/1/15 using Dr Aykroyd formula . After weightage of 25% for Group "C" it works out to Rs 26,000/- .
The fitment formula may range from 2.72 times to 3.72 depending upon the weightage.
