Hi All, I would like to know if any labor contractor if terminated/ stopped his contract in year 2018, and in the year 2019 ESIC bodies came to knew that XYZ contractor is defaulter for amounting to Rs. 20 lakh since the year 2015-2018 and contractor has vanished.
1. In the above scenario does ESI can hold responsible for the Principal employer and issue Garnishee to pay any outstanding- and if, even after the payment by principal employer amounting to Rs. 1 lakh, (which was on hold by principal employer).
2. Does ESI can send summon with reference to Garnishee to pay the difference amount outstanding to Rs. 19 lakh to the principal employer
Note: Contractor used to submit fabricated/ edited challans during monthly bill submission to principal employer.
