Yes. The work is connected with the work of the factory and it does not matter whether it is carried out within the premises or outside. If the number of employees exceed the number precribed under the Act, the same will apply to the factory.
You have not specified 'Labour'. Is it a contractor supplying labour ? If it is so then he shall be liable for payment of ESI and PF contribution in the first instance. You have to check up whether he( contractor) is registered under the relevant Act or not. Enter into an agreement with him that he will provide everything necessary under the provisions of Contract Labour ( Regulation and Abolition)Act, to such workmen.

Dear Mr. Harbhajan Thukral
The work which I am talking is done with the help of machine & others equipments & said Machine & Equipments are with the Party from whom we are making Job work for raw material. There is no Contract Labour or Supply Labour. The job Work or Labour Work done outside Factory Premices for that Bill is produce by them.
