This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies ESIC applicability for principal employers when engaging contractors. Generally, ESIC is payable only on your own employees. However, if a contractor is not registered under ESIC, the principal employer may be liable to pay ESIC on the labour charge portion of the contractor's bill, even for short-term work, at a rate of 4%.
