(b) to every contractor who employs or who employed on any day of the preceding twelve months twenty or more workmen :
contract labour licence is granted on 20 or above manpower itself, so all rules of EPF/ESIC ( profession tax , if applicable) are applicable for the contractor,
it does not matter that they cease to work on certain day after the contract finish,
if the contractor opt to surrender the EPF /ESIC/Contract labour licence after finish of work, they can do it at their will, with supporting documents, but in no case they can deny the labour welfare acts / rules applicable.

For the principal employer, construction of compound wall may be outside the purview of their regular business and no ESI/PF need to be paid in respect of the payment made for that. But you being an employer is expected to have ESI registration because your employment strength on any day is more than 10. Accordingly, when you engage people and pay them wages, you should deduct ESI.
I would also like to clarify that construction of compound wall may be treated as work incidental to the work of the factory depending upon the situation. There has been different views with regard to its treatment. But to be of safer side, the Principal employers use to pay the contract money after deducting the ESI/PF. For the contractor also, it is advisable to do so because the work involves risk and ESI is nothing but a good scheme of insurance and medical attention.

Since you were engaged contract worker less than prescribed limit (<19) therefore the provision of obtaining Contract Labour Licence would't be decisive, Whereas in respect of ESIC shall be ensured whether areas been notified or not, if applicable the contractor/principal employer should made contribution of the same. Nevertheless the EPF is applicable to contractor.
Ascertaining the applicability of BoCW @ own risk. The act is not applicable in case if the constriction within the ambit of existing Factory expansion.

Dear Thirumurugan,
Numerical strength of the workmen/employees actually employed is one of the determinants for the applicability of all the three enactments viz., the ESI Act, the EPF Act and the CLRA Act to any establishment. However, by virtue of the difference in the the threshold strength plus the duration of employment, the application of the Acts can be concurrent or consecutive. For all practical purposes, a contractor's establishment also an establishment under the ESI and EPF Acts. Therefore, I concur with Mr.Madhu. Even in the case of your being an unlicensed contractor in respect of a particular Principal Employer because of both the number and duration parameters, what is the guarantee that you will not rotate some of your contract labour among other PEs?
