There is a factory with its own township.A contract is to be awarded for wiring and other electrical work in some residences. The contract does not specify any thing regarding employment of no. of manpower.My querry is will it attract the provisions of the ESI Act? I understand the Act applys to the factory & other establishment. The town ship is not the factory nor in the premises of the factory. It is situated just adjacent to the factory. Kindly advise.
Also kindly advise whether in the same situation the PF Act is applicable?
