Contract Labour Registration - Labor Contract [Thread 501198]

Hello Everyone,
I'm hoping you could help me clarify the requirements for contract labour to register in India.
We are a company based abroad and are looking to hire one individual on contract for service governed by another jurisdiction (outside of India). I believe that the individual needs to register with the relevant authorities to be able to work in this capacity but the individual seems to disagree with that.
Also, am I right in thinking that we do not require any registration in India as we will only have one contractor?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Dear Anonymous,

Let me first understand your query. What I understand is:

1. Your company is based at abroad.

2. You wish to engage one person in India to expand your business in India.

3. There will be a contract for service between you and that person which will be enforceable at outside India.

4. Your question is whether this person is require to be registered as contractor with any authority in India.

If my understanding is correct then my answer to your query is - No.

However, mind well, in India you are subjected to so many enactments at Central level, State level as well at Local bodies subject to various parameters. You are subjected to International Law. And I need not to tell you that any Law is subjected to interpretation which depends upon how you represent yourself.

If it is establishes that your company is doing business in india, your company needs to be incorporated with ROC as foreign company registered in India, according to my knowledge.

I am not an expert but I participate in this forum to enhance my knowledge. I am sure some other learned member will contribute his knowledge on the basis of my response by which my object is going to meet.

Greeting!!!
Can anyone tell that whether principle employer can pay ESIC amount directly deposit to ESIC office on behalf of contractor if the contractor is not depositing the same .

Dear Nair ji,
If the contractor is not having a code allotted to him, the principal employer is liable for the ESI contribution and he should deposit it under his code.
If contractor is having a code allotted to him and he fails to deposit the contribution, he is primarily responsible and liable. Still the principal employer can deduct the amount from contractor's bill and deposit it under his (PE) code.
To deposit the contribution of contractor's labours, the PE should have the details of contractor's labours including insurance number, in case the labour is registered as IP.

Thank you very much for answering my question, Korgaonkar, and just to confirm - yes, you understood the criteria of the arrangements correctly. Your help is much appreciated. Have a lovely day.
