Yes, PF and ESIC are applicable to you. If these workers have an existing UAN number for PF, you need to credit the PF in the same code. If not, you need to create new PF codes for them and instruct them to use it wherever they work in the future. Meanwhile, you may also be required to pay cess under the BOCW Act. Please check it out.
