Contractor Licensing and Labor Laws: Do PF and ESIC Apply for Less Than 20 Workers?

Shishir Bhujang
Respected members, please guide: If a contractor has a license to deploy fewer than 20 laborers, is he required to pay PF and ESIC?

Actually, we want to deploy only 8 laborers to work in the agricultural farm for routine tasks such as weeding, hoeing, and turning over the soil.
