What do you mean by professionals and contract employees?
If professionals are under your pay roll and if they are drawing salary as qualified by ESI and PF Acts then they are also covered by these Acts. Similarly, these professionals are subject to profession tax also.
If you mean Fixed Term Contract by contract employees, they are just like your other employees and are covered by these rules. If you mean by contract employees the employees engaged through a contractor (outsourced) then your responsibility as principal employer is to ensure that the contract has made coverage for these Acts to his employees who are working under you.
