After Proper Modification:-
Provision under the PF Act
‘Chapter: Contributions
Principal employer to pay contributions in the first instance
(1) The principal employer shall pay in respect of every employee, whether directly employed by him or by or through an immediate employer, both the employer’s contribution and the employee’s contribution.
(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other enactment but subject to the provisions of this Act and the regulations, if any, made thereunder, the principal employer shall, in the case of an employee directly employed by him (not being an exempted employee), be entitled to recover from the employee the employee’s contribution by deduction from his wages and not otherwise’ …….
(4) Any sum deducted by the principal employer from wages under this Act shall be deemed to have been entrusted to him by the employee for the purpose of paying the contribution in respect of which it was deducted.
(5) The principal employer shall bear the expenses of remitting the contributions to the Corporation.
In respect of employees employed by or through a contractor, the contractor
shall recover the contribution payable by such employee (in this Scheme referred to as the
member’s contribution) and shall pay to the principal employer the amount of member’s
contribution so deducted together with an equal amount of contribution (in this Scheme
referred to as the employer’s contribution) and also administrative charges.
Finally, I Dont Think, There Could be Problem Arise due to PF Paying Directly by Contractor.
