We are a client company applying for a labor license. However, we source labor from a labor contractor. I want to know if it is applicable to us for PF, ESI, registration, depositing PF, ESI, and other registers.

Dear Prasanta,

I agree with Arnab. You don't have to apply for a labor license; instead, you have to apply for a labor registration certificate by filling out form 1, and your contractor has to apply for a labor license. Additionally, you have to provide form 5 to the contractor before he applies for a labor license.

Furthermore, ESI is not applicable to construction laborers. Therefore, please ensure that your contractor has CAR and WC policies for their staff/workers.

Warm hello to members.

I have my views and want to share with you all. Kindly correct if I'm wrong.

1. ESI coverage is done areawise, not industrywise.
2. All contract labor should be covered under EPF and ESI.
3. The principal employer has to ensure all statutory compliances of the contractor after obtaining RC and issuing Form V.
4. The principal employer is liable, as well as the contractor, for statutory dues.

Dear Deva, Construction industry is exempted from ESI (according to the notification dated 14th June, 1999). Rest 3&4 are absolutely correct. Regards, Ruchi

You can keep the contractors with the separate Sub Code, if your contractor fails to take PF Registration. Thanks & Regards B. RAVIMURUGAN Senior HR & IR Professional.

Hi Team,

Any company engaging 5 or more employees in the client's location should have a Contract Labour License. As a client, you need to provide a work order and Form V to your contracted company to obtain the CLRI. In all statutory cases, as the principal employer, you are liable for all employee-related issues. As a client, you should ensure that the contracted company is fulfilling all statutory requirements. Every month, you need to cross-check and audit 14 types of documents before processing their bills.

Dear Jayanta,

Your P.E. (Professional Engineer) has to submit Form 5 through your contractor, specifying you as a subcontractor for the said contractor.
