Dear HR Guru's,
I wanted to have Information/scan copy/ soft copy of the rule which states that the contribution of PF amount is the reesponcibility of the principal empolyer if the contractor is not doing that activity. i know that as per Minimum wages act it is prime rescponcibility of principal empolyer to give CL salary & deduct it from contractor's payment, but i wanted know about PF & legal related complianses.

Dear Girish Musale

Whether the principal employer will be liable for the payment of contribution in regard to the employees engaged by a contractor?

The workers employed through a contractor are the 'employees' under the E.P.F. Act and the principal employer is res*ponsible for contribution of provident fund in regard to such employees. The employees engaged by the contractor in connection with the work of the principal employer will be employees as defined under the E.P.F. and Miscellaneous Provisions Act.
