Dear Seniors,
Greetings of the day!
One of my clients has engaged a contracting company to execute project work on a contract basis. This contracting company is a foreign entity and is planning to carry out the work with the assistance of foreign laborers. The laborers will be paid in foreign currency, as per my understanding from the client.
Under these circumstances, what laws are applicable to the contracting company, and what are the liabilities of my client, i.e., the Principal Employer?
Certainly, Indian Labor Laws such as the Contract Labor Act, Minimum Wage Act, EPF Act, etc., are applicable to the contract laborers. Besides Indian Labor Laws, are there any other laws concerning their migration, and is there a requirement for any permissions, registrations, or licenses in this regard? Additionally, what about Professional Tax (PTax)?
Income Tax is governed by the Income Tax Act. However, are there any exemptions in PTax, which is a tax on Professions, Trades, Callings, and Employments?
Can anybody shed light on this issue?
Thanks in anticipation.

Dear Keshav,
An international worker will hold an employment visa along with an employment contract. The minimum salary would not be less than $25,000 USD. They need to register for a residential permit. There are no exemptions in PT and IT if they are paid in foreign currency. They will be governed by Indian labor law.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
I am working in a Japanese organization and would like to understand the procedure for PF withdrawal for Japanese individuals in Haryana. Expats come to India for a duration of 3-5 years, and upon completion of their assignment, they return to their home country and close their bank accounts before leaving. Could you please advise me on how to facilitate the PF withdrawal process for them, considering they do not have a bank account in India? Their UAN is activated, and there is a Social Security Agreement between Japan and India.
