Dear All,
Hi, here is a case: A company is undertaking electrical work in an under-construction site. The principal employers are responsible for PF and ESIC liabilities. The under-construction PF and ESIC liabilities fall under the responsibility of the principal employer.
Thank you.

1. My company is registered only with ESIC.
2. I do not have PF registration.
3. I have worked for an under-construction company.
4. However, now that the principal company's production has commenced, they are requesting PF and ESIC challans from the beginning of the project.

Your question is incomplete as you have not provided the clear information we need. How many people work with you ? Was pf a part of the contract terms ?

Sir, actually, my company is an electrical panel establishment and electrical service provider. Currently, my company is working in an under-construction project, and the establishment of the panel work has been completed. However, the client company has withheld the payment due to PF and ESIC requirements. I only have the ESIC challan as my company is not registered with EPF. My first question is: before starting production, is any company responsible for PF and ESIC? Please guide me.

PF is applicable for all contract employees if it is applicable to the principal employer irrespective of whether it is applicable to the contractor as such. The principal employer would have stated this as a requirement in the PO. If not, they should have informed and checked knowing that most contractors don't know. In fact, most companies we work with check this before releasing the PO.
In law, you are responsible. The fact that they didn't inform you makes little difference. So unfortunately, you are in a bind unless you had clearly stated to the main company that your prices are without including PF.
