hi... This laxman, from Goa, Mine is partnership firm, started its avctivities 10 years back that from 1998 -99. we are into development of land and sale of plots. We engaged contractor to develop the plots.The manpower on muster was 21 in jan 2007.
Can some help me ( Please state rules/Act or attached rule or Act) in answer my following querries.
1. Is firm like us which is into development of land is covered under pf Act.
2. If yes, since when ?
3. The employees on firm muster roll had reached 20 in jan. 2007. the pf inspector talks about the contractors employees. The system was to issue work order to the contractors and on receipt of bills payments were done. No record of contractors employees was collected/maintained. Under such circumstances, were we required to deduct towards pf from the contractos bills.This deductions were not done earlier because the pf was not applicabe to contructions company. is it correct ? if yes please forward me that part of law.
Yours answers would be of great help ....
thanks
