Our company provides technical manpower to Organizations. The Organization(x) we were providing skilled manpower to has appointed another reputed company(y) and henceforth they will be dealing with us. We were previously paying PF & Esic for the workers.

The employer is bound to account for these and render advises to the Department.In this case,the employer is responsible for any default or shortcomings.

If the manpower supplied by you are being paid salary by you and are under your administrative control, you become the employer of such force and liable to meet the said statutory obligations.

Thank you very much Mr. Gabriel and Mr. Kalaiselvan.
Is there any act or section in Contract Labour where this is mentioned.

Why do you want to refer the law when the fact is that you are the employer hence you need to meet the statutory obligations of the employees under you. However visit the labor laws in full wherein you will find whichever section that will explain your query in detail.
