Hi,
Actually I belong to a Façade Industry who is having his own manufacturing set up and at same time we also do the various kind of job work at construction site through sub contractors.
Our factory is covered under the ESI and we pay contribution as per law. But since we also work at construction site so don't pay their ESI contribution as construction site are not covered under ESI.We are also registered under BOCW act and also having the WC for all our labors
Now during the ESI inspection, they raised the penalty of Rs.10 lacs in lieu of this non contribution of ESI of construction labor who are deployed by us for various kind of job work like installation of glass and other related work.
Now I request you all to give your valuable suggestion in this regard other we will have to bear huge amount of penalty.
In my personal hearing I contested the same but as per them we fall under ESI.
Looking forward for support.
Thanks and Regards.

Dear Dhirender Singh Ji,
Regarding the applicability of ESIS in construction worksites, there have been numerous discussions on this forum, including some of my own. I would like to request you to carefully read Circular by ESIC New Delhi - Construction 4/99 dated 14.06.1999.
Upon reviewing this circular, if your argument is that ESI is not applicable to construction sites at all, then that is incorrect. It appears that many individuals, including employers involved in construction, consultants, as well as ESI officers, have misinterpreted this circular.
In your situation, the ESI inspector is correct in requesting contributions for laborers you have deployed at construction sites for various types of work, such as the installation of glass and related tasks, in my opinion.

Sir,
1. I agree with the views of Sh. Korgaonkarji and it is clear that the contribution in respect of the claims made by ESIC is payable by the company.
2. This is based on the reason that the firm/company from which contribution has been claimed is not a construction company, but a firm manufacturing glass etc. Only the employees of Construction establishments working at construction sites are not coverable.
3. However, the company/firm can reduce its liability by making payment of contribution on actual basis, if in the case the claims are raised by ESIC on total amounts paid for "Installation of Glass, Façade,ACP works,Fabrication etc." and that too within the period, the final order is not passed by the competent authority.
