Dear Sir/ Ma'm
I am working in an export house where around 500 employees works. We have 15 contractors and each one have his labor. We use to deduct both side PF amount from there side. But contractors are not ready on this condition , they are saying that on less then 20 workers PF is not applicable, when we have less then 20 workers then why u r deducting PF from over side. So kindly clear this condition, whether they can work in our factory without deducting PF or not.

If the contractor does not have more than 20 workes but in your company PF is applicable and then your company is responsible to deduct the PF and ESI on their behalf and deposit in the concerned department (Only In case if the contractor is not contributing their PF and ESI for their workers).

Sayyed,
If you employ five contractors and of which two contractors have less than 20 workers then you cannot insist those two to deduct PF. From his view he is right. He cannot apply for the PF code in anticipation.
Similarly at the time of engaing a contractor, please mention all statutories to be followed. Any liability not complied by the contractor comes on the Principal employer. Many a time, Contract Labour Act is not strictly followed anywhere and principal employer is also not serious about this. The remedy is that you have to deduct and remit on behalf of them.
Again there is a headache. His staff who turned up this month may or may not trunup next month. You cannot collectively remit as group PF. So individual member registration and paper work is more. Anways, approach a consultant for more clarity, doesn't matter if it costs the company.
