The primary liability to pay the cess falls on the contractor who has completed the work by engaging or employing his workers. At the same time, if the contractor does not pay it, the owner of the building will have to pay it. It is up to the owner whether to recover the same from the contractor or not. If there is no amount pending, the owner of the building will have to bear the cost.
