Are Subcontractors Required to Pay PF? Understanding the Rules and Process

Dear All,

Please provide me with the process of non-payment of PF as a subcontractor and under which rule. We are subcontractors on one of the projects, and they are currently deducting our monthly PF. However, we are not eligible under certain acts, and therefore, we do not want the PF to be deducted. I need information on the rules, regulations, and the process for this.

Thanks & Regards,

All employees, whether engaged directly or through any contractor, are covered under the EPF Act. According to Section 8A, the principal employer has the right to make deductions of the PF contributions from the bill of the subcontractor, as it is ultimately his responsibility to ensure compliance with the act.

Dear All,

I am working in an edible oil company in HR. I have been tasked with conducting performance appraisals for our Commercial Staff, which includes the Accounts Officer, Export Executive, C.A., Account Assistant, and Legal Officer.

I have completed the job description and job analysis for the Accounts Officer and Account Assistant. However, I was not able to do the same for the others as they have recently joined us.

I would appreciate any assistance with the further process.

Please reply as soon as possible to my email address vermak7@gmail.com.

Thank you.
