It is very common with many Contractors. You are providing service against the service charge and if it includes Co's contribution of PF, ESI, Bonus, Gratuity etc. - then it is your responsibility. If it is not, then in the agreement between PE and Contractor, it should mention that all statutory payments are the responsibility of PE. (Moreover, As per your version you are getting little amount of service charge.)
Based on your agreement between you and PE , you have to take a call.
The healthy agreement between Contractor and PE may be (Monthly gross + Employer portion of PF & ESI) + Service charge of contractor +GST as invoice amount.
Periodical payment - Bonus, Gratuity, Leave pay etc . may be claimed by the contractor with little service charge from PE and paid to contract labour.
It is also essential from PE to control on different statutory payment made by the contractor and for proper partnership relation to provide necessary support to Contractor.
