If it is a statutory canteen, a canteen set up as per the mandatory requirements of the Factories Act, you have to ensure that that the workers employed by the society are covered by ESI/PF and other labour laws.

Dear DG,
As your question states it clearly that Outsourcing of a canteen will be done to a Third party--NGO /a cooperative society, then in such case, none of the above compliances applies to it.
Whenever, a specific unit of said company is outsourced to third party, then in such case, third party takes care of it.
Hope you are clear now.

It is not clear for me. You mean to say that the employees of "statutory" canteen run by a third party is not covered by the labour laws applicable to the factory for whose employees the canteen is set up as mandated by the law?

If a canteen setup is there in the factory campus principal employer has to ensure that vendor is following statutory EPF, ESIC has to be followed regards Sureshkumar
