Epf Contribution By Contractors - Pdf Download

Dear All,
Please find attached a Internal circular by the Regional PF commissioner (Compliance ) stating that the PF Enforcement Officials during their inspection of establishment should verify that the contractors/ Sub Contractors PF Remittances and their Bill Clearances by the Principal Employer are linked together for effective implementation of the PF act.

Hi All,
PF authorities has no statutory power to verify such things. Recent judgments confirms on contractor non-compliance's can't be made responsibility of principal employer if the contractor has allotted separate PF code.
Earlier also PF department issues such circulars without having statutory powers and recall after some court judgments. Through these type of circulars department enforcing principal employer to do their job like TDS.
