15 December 2008 In such cases, safe course of action is not merely include a Clause in Agreement or obtain a letter or confirmation in writing from Contractor but also to obtain photo copies of Challans evidencing remittance of PF and ESI.

06 July 2012 Which section of CLRA says that it i liability of Contrcator to deduct PF and ESI??

My view is that liability of deduction of PF and ESI is on Principal Employer and not of Contractor due to applicability of PF and ESI act on CLRA.
