Dear Seniors,

Our company is based in Chennai, and the site location is in Bangalore. Labourers are engaged through a manpower supply. Kindly clarify whether the labourers engaged are to be covered under PF and ESI as they are on daily or weekly wages. Secondly, if PF & ESI are to be covered, let us know whether we need to apply for a separate PF & ESI code for the company in Bangalore and if PF & ESI remittances have to be done in Bangalore.
