Dear Kannan,
Please read the contents of my response carefully. I have only advised that certain formalities are obligatory on part of the Employer and the Contractor under the relevant law.
I have only stated that in case of an Industrial Dispute the Principal Employer will be on the defensive.
It is therefore necessary to complete the required documentation properly (this is not done most often).
Best Wishes,

Dear Satish,
Please read my posts carefully. I have nowhere made any suggestions as inferred by you.
I am also not offering any advice to escape statutory obligations.
I am only trying to highlight some basic facts:
Complying with the requirements of the Contract Labour (Abolition & Regulation) Act is the first necessary step.
All employees hired through the contractor are HIS employees.
The Contractor as the immediate employer is obliged to maintain all required records under various applicable Labour Laws in respect of all his employees.
Therefore all applicable statutory obligations have to be complied with by him (the Contractor).
Likewise, the Company as the Principal Employer also has certain obligations to ensure that the Contractor actually complies with all applicable statutory obligations from which, there is no escape.
In case of any default/violation, the Principal Employer is held responsible.
It is for the Company's management to decide upon the course of action they would like to adopt.

Friends,
We are an architectural/interior designing firm based in Mumbai and executing interior projects on a turnkey basis. Our technical staff strength is 6 along with 2 partners.
Are we eligible for ESIC deductions by our clients, especially when we subcontract the work to different vendors/subcontractors and do not have any labor under our payroll? Can we forward our subcontractor's PF number to avail exemption from the deductions?
Our subcontractor is eligible for PF but not ESIC as they have less than 20 employees under their payroll too. Your feedback here will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
