Dear All,
Need to know whether being a principal employer, it is mandatory to pay PF amount of contractual staff even if contractor doesn't come under PF act. (Less than 20 employees on contractor role).

Since your company (principal employer) is covered by PF, any person engaged by contractor who is otherwise qualified to become member of EPF by way of salary, is to be covered by EPF even if the contractor does not hold separate PF registration. In such scenario the contract labour will be registered under the principal employer's registration only. The same thing applies to ESI also.

Yes, the PE has to take care of the ESI/EPF of the Contractual employees in that case. The Contractor shall be using the PEs registration code.
