Regarding deduction of PF & ESI on contractor Bills

This query is : Resolved 

23 February 2010 Dear Sirs,
I am in delimma regarding deduction of ESI & EPF on contractor bill, what are the provision to deduct same & also if contractor raised separate bill for service tax, wheather TDS,ESI & EPF deduct from the bill or not.

Regards,
Ashish

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.
