Pf is applicable for all contract employees if it is applicable to the principal employer irrespective of whether it is applicable to the contractor as such.
The principal employer would have stated this as a requirement in the PO. If not, they should have informed and checked knowing that most contractors don't know. In fact, most companies we work with, check this before releasing the PO.
In law, you are responsible. The fact that they didn't inform you makes little difference.
So unfortunately you are in a bind, unless you had clearly stated to the main company that your prices are without including pf
