Liability of the Principal Employer for EPF Contribution
If the contractor has not remitted the EPF contribution, then the Principal Employer is liable. The contract labor should bring this to the notice of the concerned PF Inspector; the rest of the action would follow.
Actions Based on Contract Terms
The action the company can take would depend on the contract terms between the two. If the contract has a specific term bestowing the responsibility for PF compliance on the contractor, then the Principal Employer can deduct the PF amount it has paid directly to EPFO from the bills and other dues of the contractor.
