23 February 2010 Under law, the liability for payment of PF and ESI remains on the Principal. Hence you have to deduct PF and ESI on the same. The contractor has to provide a break up of the bill in terms of the labour involved and other expenses for material and overheads.

In case the bill involves service tax, then TDS is also to be deducted.

If you fail to deduct PF and ESI, then during your PF audit, you might face some problem from the PF authorities.
