My client is transport contractors owning 6 truck tankers. He also utilises services of other truck owners for requirement of 10 trucks. In all under his contract 15 trucks are operating.
The truck tanker crew/staff changes very frequently i.e. 30-45 days. As a principal contractor he has been asked to comply with ESI/EPF Act.
My query is (1) Whether my client has to obtain registration under PF and other Acts. (2) He owns 6 trucks and his staff strength is 14 only through out the period.
(3) What remedy can be availed by him? (4) What about staff of trucks owned by other persons.
Please guide.
