Dear Friends

Ours is a pvt limited company having over 200 emplyees, we engage labour contractors to work in our assembly section.

one of our labour contractor having only two colleagues/sub-ordinates/employees who work in our factory and bills us for the same

is it mandatory/obligatory for us to see/verify whether he pays PF dues in respect of his two employees/colleagues ??

since he do not come under the def of an "Establishment" under PF Act 

Pl help and guide me for material to substantiate

T&BR
