Contartor PF/ESIC Liablity

Date:01.10.09

Dear all,

In our unit, a contractor supply 9 nos. worker daily.then PF and ESIC liabliety should not be attracted, because contractor is not suppling more than 20 and 10 nos in a single day respectivali.

But in contrast , our Labour consultant guided us that contractor should pay the PF AND ESIC liablity of 9 person,Factory condition deemed to applicable on contractor.,even  supply of  one person in single day.

In case, Contractor failed to fullfill the liablity of PF/ESIC then, ultimatly responciblity comes  on head  principle Employer. 

Please Clearify What is the views of seniors.?

Thanks
