There is a liability on the Principle Employer, if the contractor fails to pay wages to his workers and also to deposit PF and other statutory dues. In this case, the Principle Employer should have checked whether timely and regularly wages are being distributed and contributions are deposited. Now, what Principle Employer best can do is to deposit the PF contribution immediately and recover the same from the Contractor from his bills.
Incidentally, the concerned worker can still claim his PF outstanding irrespective of the contributions have been deposited or not by the contractor or not. It is for the PF Office how to recover the dues from Employer. PF Office cannot deny the claim on the pretext that contributions are not deposited. I will advice the worker to move the District Consumer's redresssal Forum (Consumer Court) for the relief.

Hi Rathi,
Its better to pay all dues from Principal Employer's fund to avoid any inquiry or to fulfill statutory compliance.
I will also recommend to fulfill all statutory compliance which your contractor was lacking.

As Mr Kulkarni and Puneet has suggested the statutory dues and Salary payment responsibility lies with the principle employer, you have not checked the statutory payments before making the full and final settlement of the contractor, so it would be your loss. So it is advisable to pay it off to avoid further consequences.

One PSU had a civil contract workmen and they have been paid their bill regularly every month by the concerned PSU. Notice issued by PF authorities on PSU because of PSU is a principal employer, to pay PF contributions of the civil contract employees, to the government as the PF contribution were not paid by the contractor so far? PSU stand is that they have paid the contractor's bill regularly and there is nothing is pending at PSU end to settle the contractor further. In the mean time PSU accounts were audited for many years and nothing has been mentioned about the non-payment of PF contributions to Govt. Now PSU has no records (Salary and their attendance) of the employees who have been engaged by PSU.
High light of this case is there is no claim from any of the employees on PF dues so far.
What is the stand PSU should take now? Pl advise since it is very urgent.
