Direct Engagement Of Contract Labour By Employer

Dear All,
I need clarification regarding contract labour, can employer engage contract labour directly without contractor, if yes what is the procedure for engage contract labour under contract labour regulation and abolition act, what are the pros and cons and how to pay the statutory contributions ( ESI , PF ect..), can these contributions paid under regular employees registration code.

If you are directly employing employees, then how does it come under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition)Act?
The above Act will apply when you engage workers through a contractor. If you want to say that engaging workmen directly by you for a fixed period which is often referred to as contract workers, then your status will not be like that of a Principal employer under the CLRA Act but will be like an employer for other regular employees.
In both the cases, you can give PF and ESI registration under your company registration itself.

Sir,
for regular / Direct Employees main Code and for Contract Labour can take Sub code.
AP/PTC/62128 Direct Employees
AP/PTC/62128/A for Contract Labour
we follow in my Com.

Rightly Explained and said by Mr Madhu.
CL(R&A) Act, only became applicable when, the workers hired through third party/agency i.e contractors.
The Act shall not applicable to workers directly hired by the Employer for fixed term. And Employer need to comply with all social welfare legislation in respect of such workers also, in their own code.
