RWAs nowadays get registered under the 'Apartment Owners Act' in various states and generally employ security guards, plumbers, and electricians through contractors. Many sources state that since RWAs do not engage in any 'commercial activity,' they cannot be categorized as an 'employer' or 'principal employer.'
On the other hand, there are thousands of employees deployed in these housing societies and apartment associations who do not receive any benefits under PF or ESIC. What is the legal position to protect the rights of such contractual employees concerning PF and ESIC? Additionally, what are the responsibilities of RWAs to ensure that the contractor complies with PF and ESIC regulations for the manpower deployed on their premises?
