Dear Krishanu, I hope the contractor you have engaged has PF and ESIC codes for compliance. If not, compliance must be established using your organization's codes.
Before processing the contractor's invoice each month, verify the compliance status not only through the challan but also on the PF and ESIC sites after obtaining the user's ID and password from the contractor.
If you pay GST to the contractor, it is also necessary to verify this along with PTAX for complete compliance.
Thanks and Regards,
