can contractor gate ESIC code if his contract labour is less than 20 where establishment cover under ESIC or can Principal employer paid ESIC Contribution on behalf of contract labour or it is necessary if the contractor engaged less 20 contract labour.

Dear Sir,
Being a principal employer its your duty to deduct and deposit the ESI dues in r/o every contractor. If a contractor is not independently coverable under the Act in that case ,you will have to deduct and deposit the ESI dues in r/o that contractor in your own ESI code No.

I have one query my establishment is not cover under ESIC because worker strength is less than 20 , but we have engaged 5 contractor and company paid ESIC charges only for 3 contractors workmen because every contractors having strength over 20 but remaining 7 contractors have less than 20 contract workers in each any day, so my question is that who is the responsible for that Employer or Contractor.

Sir, please indicate whether the establishment in which you are working is either a "factory" or an "establishment" ? What are the activities / manufacturing process etc. of your establishment ?
