DEAR SIR, ,,,,,,,,,,,, You are not liable to deducted epf form labor payment , but you should ask to your sub contractor epf deduction and deposit record and also take a copy of epf deposit challan and labor pay roll

Principal employer  has  to ensure  that  contractor  has  paid  contributions of  EPF and  ESI, and  submitted  the  evidence  for  same  alongwith their  invoice, 

in  absence of  proper evidence  of  compliance,  principal  employer  is  liable  to cover the  contract  employees in their own establishment code  and  pay the  contributions.
