I have a query about the construction contractor bill. Is there any liability on us regarding the billing amount for PF and ESIC? The contractor does not provide any details of the labor. The total bill amount is 6199605. I need to know the amount of the PF and ESIC liabilities that the employer has to pay. There are no labor details.

Compliance Responsibility for Construction Workers
1. To ensure compliance regarding employees engaged in the maintenance or extension of buildings/premises within the covered factory/unit, the responsibility lies with the principal employer. When the construction/maintenance work commenced, your unit should have requested the necessary employment details of construction workers hired by the contractor. The unit should have ensured compliance either through the contractor or directly by the principal employer in case of non-compliance. Even now (if assessment is pending under section 45A), you can request details from your contractor and submit contributions based on the actual wages paid under the mentioned Act.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
2. If compliance is not met and detailed bifurcation is not provided to the department, it is likely that the department will have no choice but to claim contributions based on the total amounts indicated by you, considering all such amounts as coverable wages.
Thank you.
