Dear Girish Musale
Whether the principal employer will be liable for the payment of contribution in regard to the employees engaged by a contractor?
The workers employed through a contractor are the 'employees' under the E.P.F. Act and the principal employer is res*ponsible for contribution of provident fund in regard to such employees. The employees engaged by the contractor in connection with the work of the principal employer will be employees as defined under the E.P.F. and Miscellaneous Provisions Act.
