You are adopting wrong practice, which may have far reaching consequences for your company. It is not a matter that company makes contribution, If your company wants to make contributions, it can (as a gesture towards contract workmen of your company) But, you should have directed your contractor to obtain a code for himself and contributions should have been remitted through his Code number, and not of Company"s.
Now if some anomaly occurs on PF and/or ESI fronts in future, your company will have to face the music.

The basic question in all such matters is, whether the contract arrangement is genuine or not. Where the contractor has obtained license, PF & ESI registration, recruited the labour, supervises them and pays them the arrangement would appear genuine. The ultimate question is whose labour it is, the contractor's or of the PE?
So payment of PF & ESI contribution directly by the PE goes against the above principles though it is not decisive.
