Dear Colleague,
In my opinion, you should go for PF registration, as EPF Act, Section 2(f), defined employees definition, that any person who is employee for wages in any kind of work manual or otherwise, in or in connection with the work of an establishment and who gets wages directly or indirectly from the employer and includes any person employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the establishment.

1st purchase of raw material, 1st rent paid, 1st sale
