Eligibility Criteria for PF and ESI Deductions
1. For employees with a Basic CTC of up to Rs. 6500/-, you can deduct the PF. However, for amounts above that, you need a declaration from employees indicating whether they want PF deduction or not.
2. For employees/workers receiving Rs. 90/- per day as daily wages, up to a monthly salary of Rs. 15000/-, you can deduct ESI.

Understanding the Contract Act and Deductions
Can somebody tell me about the Contract Act? We have four contractors, and all contractors have no workmen; they are working on our premises according to the piece-rate system. All four contractors submit a monthly bill, each consisting of a monetary value of approximately ₹25,000 per bill. Except for these four contractors, none have any PF and ESI numbers. How can we deduct the ESI and PF amounts from the payment of the bill? Please help me out. You can provide information via my email [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

As per the PF Act,
Employee Definition:
"Employee" as defined in Section 2(f) of the Act means any person who is employed for wages in any kind of work, manual or otherwise, in or in connection with the work of an establishment, and who receives wages directly or indirectly from the employer. This definition also includes any person employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the establishment.
Membership:
All the employees (including casual, part-time, daily wage, contract, etc.) other than an excluded employee are required to be enrolled as members of the fund on the day the Act comes into force in such an establishment.
Even though employees working on a piece-rate basis, their PF deduction is still mandatory. If their PF is not deducted, it constitutes a statutory violation by the principal employer.
Therefore, it is advisable to deduct the PF and ESI amount from their monthly bill and deposit it under your company's PF and ESI code. Alternatively, you can have a new PF and ESI code solely for subcontractors and deposit their amount under that code (preferred).
If you require more information, please feel free to discuss.

Your query is not clear. Could you elaborate on it? What type of job was awarded to them? I understand from your query that they are working with you as consultants or retainers. If they are long-term retainers, your company has to cover them with PF. What is the strength of your organization?
