Thanks Sir , but we are paying the contractors monthly on lump sum basis ( as per the agreement amount ) . The Provident Fund of the drivers are being deducted from the contractors bills @ 24.24 % and is being deposited to their respective PF ccount of EPF Trust . .
My question is since we are follwing the central PF rules for their PF , why we can not insist the contractor to pay the wages as per central Govt rules .

(1) It is clarified that we are engaging the contractors to supply the vehicle minimum for a period of 3 years contimuously depending on their performance , after that either new tender is invited or extension is granted as per the decission of Management .
(2) Agsinst each vehicle minimum one driver is engaed by the contractor , drivers are the employees of the Contractors and the Admn control of the driver rest on the corporation .
(3) The Contract labour (Regulation and Abolition ) Act 1970 Cl 2 (b) may plase be reffered to . As per the provision " Workmen shall be deemed to be employed ..........when he is hired in or in connetion with such work by or through a contractor with or without the knowledge of the principal employer"

1. As central government PSU you must be engaging other contractors also, what are you doing in their cases.
2. If you PSU is registered as employer under state contract labour Act and also the contractor, in that case state minimum wages will be applicable.
3. If you are paying contractor as per central MW, you must insist and the employees must get the benefit. Although you are paying om lump sum basis, you must have arrived at the figure after some calculations.

Dear member,
Pl go through your agreement. If you are hiring vehicle for a predecided mileage on monthly or yearly basis, you are having liability as principal employer only. Regarding wages payment, if your company is having more than 50% shares held by Central Govt, than Central minimum wage otherwise state minimum wage.The contractor can change driver at his will and you have no role in it as per the contract since you are hiring only vehicle. Hope the issue is clarified.

The breakup of hire charge bill is against drivers salary and the hire charge of the Vehicle . The bill is paid on monthly basis (not on KM basis)
The PF amount @24.24 is deducted from the contractors hire charge bill . Out of which 12% is from drivers salary and the rest 12.24 % from the contrcators account .
The PF amount is deducted from monthly bill and deposited by us in our PF Trust Account .
Our organisation is Central PSU (Govt of India) . As per agrrement drivers salary is to be paid by the owner of the vehicle . As per the agrrement owner of the vehicle should comply all the statutory obligination as per the central govt/State Gov rules .
