Sir, under Section 40 and 41 of the ESI Act, 1948, both the principal employer and the contractor (immediate employer) are responsible and liable for the payment of contribution. Similar provisions, I think, may exist in the EPF and MPs Act, 1952.

Dear,

The contract employees, contractor is liable to EPF & ESI and other statutory dues. If the contractor is unable to pay, the principal employer is also liable to pay the same statutory payment to government agencies i.e., EPFO, ESIC, etc.

Contractors have to clear the payment of ESIC/PF/PT of their employees and submit the records or a certificate with reference that their labor statutory dues are paid up, along with the bill of labor.

In the absence of the above, the principal employer stands liable for the contributions of each employee at par with their regular employees.
