I am working with a pvt. organization employing contract labour through various outsourced vendors. My query is that how can we check whether contractor has deposited PF and ESI for our share as the challan which it gives, shows the consolidated amount of PF/ESI it has deposited combining for all employers it has supplied man power to.
As per law, principal employer is liable in case contractor is guilty of non compliance, short deduction/ deposition of PF/ESI.
Pls suggest how we can be sure that contractor is discharging its statutory liabilities fully.
I would also give an example, my contractor has given me salary sheet of his employed personnel showing amount of PF is Rs. 75000/-. Now he has submitted a challan of depositing PF for Rs. 600,000/-. How can I check whether he has paid our share(viz. Rs.75000) in full.
You may ask contractor to produce PF chalan details before you. In chalan details you would come to know the PF account numbers under which he has deposited PF of respective labour
