Kumar,
I differ slightly on the above. It is possible that A is not covering E under ESIC because his salary is above 15,000 or that the location is not covered by ESIC. In that case, not giving ESIC is okay, but PF cannot be stopped as long as he is working there.
In the case of B, he should be paying PF as the employee has an existing PF account. PF rules allow getting PF from two different employers at the same time. I think he should get ESIC from B in any case as long as his gross wages from B do not exceed 15,000. Else, B will have a problem explaining it to the authorities. I agree, E should ask A not to discontinue the payment of PF as it will cause problems for A.
Of course, we are assuming that A is aware of and approves the part-time employment. Incidentally, the Factory Act prohibits double employment. If both A and B are factories, then it is the duty of both employers to prevent the employee from working in two places.
Thank you.

No, the Factories Act has not prohibited double employment. See sec 60 and the rules made under it. A worker can engage in double employment with the approval of the Inspector subject to the restrictions as per the state rules.

Dear Sir,
I have been working in Organisation Company, which is from India and registered in Lanka as well. For the past 2 years, I have been working in Lanka, and the company has been deducting my EPF and ETF from my salary. However, the issue is that the company has not provided me with a salary slip, EPF slip, or EPF number since I joined.
Company Name: METRIC INFRA LANKA PVT LTD
Kindly advise me on what steps I should take.
