Is there any povision of removing the penalty imposed by the PF commissioner on the Samiti by the Principal Employer?
Samiti is a registered one and working under PSU. How the Employer be responsible for non payment of Salary to the contract labour.
Will this case goes against the Principal Employer or Samiti Representative and under which section of Penal Code.

As per the provisions of the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, the principal employer is squarely responsible for non-payment of salary by the contractor. In fact the Principal employer's representative should be present when the disbursement of wages/salary being made by the contractor. These days since the payment to contract employees are also disbursed by cheque or credit to the accounts, the principal employer should have some audit/mechanism to check proper disbursement.
