Licenses and Registrations Required
You have to obtain licenses and registration under different Acts. Being in turnkey jobs, you are a contractor as well as a Principal Employer in terms of CLRA 1970.
ESI & PF Contributions and Compliance
ESI & PF contributions/compliances are to be ensured from each and every employee, either employed through a contractor. The logic that you don't have control over his working and wages will have no force. Read Section 2 (f) of the EPF Act 1952 and act accordingly.
The liability under the ESI & EPF can sometimes amount to 600% of the escaped money.
